I have been trying to find data on bullet length for common bullets used in published reloading recipes. The Hornady and Speer websites do not list the length of their bullets. When using published load data, I would like to be able to adjust the OAL for the various bullets (of the same weight and shape) that I use in order to match the case volume in the load data. For example, if a load recipe for a 9mm cartridge uses a 124 grain Speer FMJ RN at 1.150 OAL, I would like to be able to adjust the OAL for my RMR 124 grain RN FMJ, (assuming the Speer and RMR bullets are not the exact same length) in order to match the case volume in the published load.
This is not a substitute for doing a load workup from a lower powder charge and a plunk test, but I would just like to know whether I'm starting with a lower or higher case volume than the published load.
