The largest bullet database on the internet

Guys,

I've been skulking about for a while reading the posts - great forum you have here

I just wanted to let you know about a resource that may be useful to you all.

The largest bullet database available anywhere on the internet is here.

It's safe. Only thing wrong with it, a feller could spend way too much time there.

Eh??
There is nothing for sale there and there are no loads of any type. It is simply a bullet database for reloaders.

It's a BULLET database, not a load manual.

Quickload requires things like bullet length to determine case volume to work reliably.

It can be a real PITA to try different manufactuers bullets without purchasing a box to get the length.

Looks pretty good.

Thanks for the link, I had a post here last week asking the length of a .357 180gr Nosler Partition with no responses so I am appreciative for the source.

A feller sure could spend a lot of time there...its now bookmarked in my favs. Thanks for link, Bear Hunter.

And thanks for finally joining in on the fray,...I mean forum!

btw MIIS; the 5.56mm/.223 is actually the 0.224 bullet.
