Don't but any more 55s until I have a chance/time to put up some pictures. The 55 gr Nosler Shots have a long jump and below ideal seating depth in a 243 LBC case for me - and your going to be even worse with a 0.03" shorter case to the shoulder.
I got the 70 gr NBTVs going 3060 with XBR in my 18" LBC. Didn't do further testing since I get 3000 out of my 24" 6x45 with them and they are real tough to find these days. But at that speed I can attest that they anihalate filthy plague infested P-Dogs. Not much more range than 55s out of a comparable .223, but better in the wind. The thump is also about half an octave lower.
