A-TIP Bullet Lengths

[pbatesaz]

OK beat me with a board with a nail in it of this is the wrong forum. I have been searching for specs on bullet length for the new A-TIP bullets from Hornady and can’t find it on their site or on JB. I would like to run some speculative loads in a couple of ballistic solvers that ask for bullet length. Does anyone have a source or actual measurements to share? Specifically interested in the 6.5 and 6.0 mm offerings. Thanks.

I measured 4 of the 6.5 153 A tip. All 4 are 1.504 base to tip. Hope this helps. David

Taking the hint from ormandj, I asked Hornady for the dimensional info I wanted for the 6mm 110 gr projectile. Here it is: length = 1.302 in, bearing surface = 0.366 in. Thanks gentlemen.
