Moonman,  I really appreciate the offer for bullet length compilation,  but I personally believe the reloaders should find their own Max OALs. 
Some in a hurry might just use what's posted without testing their chamber.  Just my typing errors could cause serious problems.  ::)
The bullet lengths, types and nose shapes provide a "leg up" for those interested.

I have received a shipment of Precision Delta JHP 124gr today. Measured  about a 10-15. Most are 0.580-0.581, one or two 0.582-0.583.

Diameter is very consistent .355
Bearing/Cylindrical part is 0.310

1SOW,  I don't see the  Xtreme Hollow Points on the update.  Are you still adding them to the 1st post? 

The Xtreme 147 HP (hollow point) is .623, while the Xtreme HPCB (heavy plate concave base) is .668".

EDIT:  nevermind, I missed it

Thanks ID,  Maybe it's my shortened "trigger finger" but my computer skills are definitely at a ""D rating or worse.

If you want to add Blue Bullets 115gr RN, they average about .562 for me.

Also Xtreme 115 RN are .553

Its fine. It close enough for practical purpose.

Exactly.  I figured that if I went in between us, the number wouldn't be far enough off from any to matter.

So in my search for a bullet length I came across this forum that had this factory pull down thread with a ton of good info in it.  I thought it might be useful for this thread.

http://10mm-firearms.com/factory-ammo-pull-downs/underwood-9mm-115gr-speer-gold-dot-jhp/

Lot's of different bullet length's and weights listed there.  Along with OAL's and velocities!

Cheers,
Toby
