Wonder how long the 75 and 80 grain.224 bullets are

Them 225 grain 308. Sure look nice at .777 BC. I've got a box of the ELD-X in 200 grain.

looks to me that you have to build the rifle around the bullets.

I bought 2 boxes of the eldx 178 grn and 2 of the eld match 208 grain. Can't wait to try them out.

I was concerned about stability of the 147's in 6.5 but they're the same length as the 140's so not much difference. I may try the 130's though.

I've emailed a request for the lengths of the bullets and their plastic tips. The tips have low enough mass that they don't present quite as much centrifugal pull on the bullet alignment during coning motion in settling from initial yaw, so you'll notice the stability calculator at JBM doesn't count them in length. It's sort of like getting free length, though they still contribute location of the center of pressure.

I was surprised at the BC differences for the 73 and 75 grains .224's. I'm thinking they copied the same illustration for both, but that the 73 is actually stubbier.
