After a 20 minutes search on the internet i still cannot find the following info.
Wath is the overall lenght of a standar 9x19mm NATO cartrige with a round nose bullet? i want to know the military standard (NATO). And wath is your source for the info. (any link?)
Thanx
Math.
 
1.169 inches ht tp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9x19mm_Parabellum I would think that the overall length can't change much because 9mm luger is 9mm nato, is 9mm parabelum. Will work in any 9mm
 
NATO specifies a 115 grain FMJ at 1300 fps at a pressure of 29,158 PSI.

The USA M882 specifies a 124 grain FMJ at 1230 fps, plus or minus 50 fps.

Israel Carbine Ball plus-P is a 115 grain FMJ at 1,378 fps.

South African ball is a 117 grain FMJ at 1,316 fps.

Theres also other NATO loads including a 124Gr load I think.

1.169 is the MAX OAL case length. I think most of the loadings are loaded near MAX case length or around 1.165 to deal with the high 30k+ PSI pressures of some of the warmer loads.
