The 135 grain is certainly a rather pointed bullet, which you would have to assume worked.

I've never owned / used an MS in 6.5X54 (M1900, Y1903, M1903), but on my 9.5X57 the critical area is the last third of the projectile. If there is excessive clearance / void between cartridge and magazine wall / spool in that area it will jam if more than three cartridges are loaded.

This lists alternate projectile and powder charge for '6.7' (alternate designation for 6.5X54 MS) as well as '8.2' (8X56 MS):
