6.5 bullet shape and feeding

[Dunk]

Does bullet shape ever affect feeding. I have a 6.5 96 and I use 140 SSTs and 140 hot cores. For some unknown reason ,at times ,I have feeding hang up problems.I guess my question is would 160gr bullets feed any better? Thanks

Never had any feed problems with mine regardless of bullet shape/weight? Is your mag spring weak? Harold

+1. My Swedes (and a BSA) have never been fussy about bullet type/shape or OAL.

OP, what is happening when it misfeeds?
