Compilation of Bullet Data (Where to Find?)

[Lapua40X]

I have a number of very informative bullet manufacturer data sheets. Just about all of them include bullet diameter, bullet weight, sectional density, bullet coefficients and velocity information. But I haven't yet found one that offers bullet length.
Have I missed the boat or are there sources for that information (hopefully in a well developed outline form) that I can use to obtain that data? ???

Greetings,
Bryan Litz's Applied Ballistics book has it.
Good luck,
John

Right here:

Thanks VERY much. That will do the job for the immediate time.
Also appreciate John's input here. When I can come up with the big bucks to add that one to my library (and convince the lady in my life how badly I need it ) I will certainly do that.

Be very careful about making decisions using either third party or manufacturer data. I have a lot of Berger 230 Target Hybrids (lot #3846) that Berger says are 1.640" long. That lot is 1.690", .050" longer. That is enough to cause stability problems. The latest lot I purchased (lot #4984) measure 1.660", Closer, but still .020 longer than advertised. [br]
Caveat emptor.

Good advice. I often find my Sierra MK bullets to be slightly different in total length, sometimes with the same lot in the same box. When I do that I run ballistics calcs. through a range of variables to include all those length differences before making a decision on the load that best accommodates the rifle's rate of twist.
