[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1772072, member: 94491"] FYI-- berger has full bullet specs on each bullet on their web page the 215 had a OAL of 1.598 and a bearing length of .529 , Boat tail is .280 and nose is .859" harder to find the dimensions of the Hornady bullets but the 212 is 1.61" oal, with a bearing length of .626 -- and the eld-x bullet has a thicker jacket IIRC in addition to the "internal locking band" which makes it have a greater engraving force than the bergers that is one reason why those 215's are such a good option as the bearing length is quite a bit shorter than other brands in the same weight category-- so they can be driven as fast as a 200 grain bullet from other manufactures [/QUOTE]
