Yes in the 243 you should get way more velocity with 55 gr projectiles, your figures are more like what youd expect to get for a 223 even then they're a bit light.

They left big holes in a couple of turkeys I tried them out on, so expansion wasn't a problem. But had to get within 50 meters to make shots connect.
