Lapua 83 grain .314 WC bullet length?
Does anyone have a box of Lapua 83 grain WC bullets? Would you be so kind as to measure the length of one, not including the button nose. The 98 grain Lapua WC measures ~0.530 not including the button nose. I'm hoping for something shorter. Thanks.

There is no difference in cartridge length.

Direct from the Lapua reloading manual: 12.8mm (0.504"). Sorry that does include the button, but if the drawing is to scale, then it should be around 11.6mm (0.457") without the button.
Ballistic coefficient: 0.029 (like a bus reversing!).

So around 0.070 inch shorter not measuring the button. Thanks for the replies.
