Bearing surface vs OAL of bullet?

Bryan,

What effect does bearing surface length have on bullets? I suspect a longer bearing surface will take more pressure to drive. Will it stabilize faster or is length driven by nose design?

Are longer bearing surface bullets more prone to copper fouling? What considerations are given to bearing surface length?
