bullet length
hey everyone. Doing some research for one of my long suffering projects.
Would be nice to know the length of these as I cant find it anywhere online for the calculator. Maybe someone has tried them here and have one they could measure?

I have a 25cal in 1:12 twist and would be nice to try these.
Point end and a little heavier than the 100gr types that should stabilise vs the 117gr round nose that also should but are a bit blunt.
Cheers

@mimms2 yup you aren't wrong
All the research I id suggests bullet length is the only way to cheat and it is very important in these bores. Even some of the hundy grain bullets are too long-mainly if they are boat tails and with long ogive/points. Hence my comment about the 117. Ballistics calculators suggest those are right on the cusp of marginally stable/stable. They are very short-under an inch and seem perform well in the 25 cals with the slower twist
It would be nice to have slightly more bullet weight (but not too heavy) to keep the speed up, but a pointy end to help a little further out
