5.5 mm bullets equals 6.0 mm bullets?

[1945dave]

Just received some new bullet connectors labled 6.0 mm connectors distributed by Great Plains. Not cheap import type yet they perfectly fit my other 5.5 mm connectors see photo attached. I measured with my digital calipers the barrel point and it is 5.48 mm exactly the same as my other 5.5 mm connectors. Anybody else have this problem? I like the full cup design over the half cup type though that has not been a problem in either case. What gives? One day I will switch to 8.0 mm but I have too many connectors to do it all at once.

Get the "cheap import type" from HK. They are better, and not mislabeled.

I agree Rumdog, but I am curious. why are the cheap import types better? Do you like the half cup design over the full cup with the two holes in the side?
