Longest bullet you could reload?

[BallisticHarmony]

This may seem silly but I’ve been looking for the longest reloading component that you could fire in any given caliber, just to see how far you could push it. It would probably not be magazine compatible, but it might work in a single shot. It would probably need to be constructed of either copper or brass since they’re lighter. The longest bullet in any caliber that I can find is this (https://www.lehighdefense.com/products/510-match-solid-808gr-bullet), which is 2.68 inches long and 808 grains.

Is anything longer than this?

That's what she said! :laugh:

Just kidding!

It does bring up an interesting question. What is the limit in length that can be stabilized by rifling twist rate?

The 750 Hornady amax I shoot out of my 50bmg are 2.56...I know that uses a 1:15 twist

I’ve seen some .416 Barrett boreriders that reach 2.5 inches... they look so cool.

50 cals are longer.
