.224 80 gr. ELDX / ELDM Bullet Length?

[Huntnpack 2]

Anyone have actual measured bullet OAL including Tip for .224 80 grain ELDX or ELDM

Thx.

What weight for the ELD-M? I'll go check my notes, I had a box of 75gr that I sorted by length because they were wildly inconsistent for OAL. Concerned because setting jump by CBTO in a 2.26 limited mag made some of them too long, so I ended up finding the longest and setting that below the 2.26 and running with it

Guess I only had it noted on the ziploc bags that I sorted them into, remembered a roughly .020" difference in length. Measured 10 out of a new box, same lot from before. Low was 1.108", high was 1.121"

You're shooting 75eldm loaded to 2.26? Sounds like a horrible idea.

That was when I had a 22 ARC. Shot great at mag length. My Tikka .223 doesn't like them.

Also, sorry to the OP, I completely missed the weight in your title on the thread until now
