Anyone have factory 9mm 124 grain Sig V crown?

If so could you measure the Over All Length for me please? I bought a bunch of pulled projectiles and I’d like to know what length the factory sets them at. Just in case someone had some handy. I’ve heard good things about the projectiles as they are made by Sierra. Much appreciated, fingers crossed

I bought a couple hundred of these bullets a few weeks ago. I loaded 50 of them to 1.090, they shot very well.
I don't know where I got that OAL from.

Op, if you do ever find out, can you please PM me or post it here. I really like this bullet and would like to load a bunch more.

Just email Sierra. They will tell you what their load development COL is for it.

From my samples:

Sig Sauer V-Crown 124 grain NATO M17 Series 9mm +P ammo = 1.058"



Suggested load OAL from the Sierra load manual #6;

Sierra 124 grain V-Crown = 1.090"

Thank you..

I emailed Sig about this round, here's the reply

We do not publish the overall length of our ammunition because it can vary.  It will be between the published SAAMI specifications of 1.00-1.169.

Only ever used 1.169" for 9mm with cast 121 grain Truncated Cones(TC). 1.169" is the SAAMI max OAL for 9mm. Never had any issues using that length.

From my box of Sig Sauer 9mm 124gr JHP (circa early 2018?) I measure 1.063" OAL.
