It would seem that bullet manufacturers don't put bullet lengths on their websites or in their reloading manuals.  Does anyone know where I can find lengths for several different brands of bullets?

I doubt that there is one comprehensive book.  

The various bullet mfns (and powder companies) like to sell ONLY THEIR products.   Besides selling re-loading components, they sell the re-loading manual.  Then, the mfn may elect to change specs.  And, I doubt that they want to "get complaints" from angry customers.

And, they'll usually exclude the "other guys" products and components.  The load data will vary due to a difference in opinion as to WHAT IS SAFE.   Then, not to mention that the test equipment will vary from book to book.  

How about contacting the mfn of the bullet(s) that you're interested in?

Aloha, Mark

You'll have to buy lots of bullets to measure.  They will sell easily when you're finished with your project.

And I was hoping someone would have done the footwork for me and then posted their findings on the net...

Does QuickLoad have bullet lengths in it?

I would second calling them. I know JLK lists lengths on their website. Wish more of them would start doing that.
