Barnes, Berger, Nosler Bullets Now Offered in Sample Packs
Bullet Proof Samples now offers 12-count packs of big-name bullets. This lets you try out many different bullet types without forking out big bucks for larger 50-ct or 100-ct boxes. Currently, Bullet Proof Samples offers projectiles from Barnes, Berger Bullets, and Nosler. The sample packs range in price from $5.49 (for 22-cal varmint bullets) to $15.99 (for a .30-Cal Barnes LRX). The Berger Bullets sample packs run $6.49 to $10.49, with the larger 7mm and 30-cal bullets at the upper end of the range. On a per-bullet cost basis, it’s still much cheaper to purchase a “normal” 100-ct box, but the sample packs let you “test before you invest.”
Berger’s Michelle Gallagher tells us: “We receive frequent feedback from shooters who are looking for bullets in small pack quantities so that they can test different bullets without the expense of buying full boxes. We’re pleased to be associated with the launch of Bullet Proof Samples. This is a new company who has done an exceptional job of addressing that concern. Bullets are packaged in blister packs, so they can be clearly seen. Each pack contains 12 bullets. They will be offering Nosler, Barnes and Berger in a variety of weights and calibers.
This effort will be featured in an upcoming issue of American Rifleman and will launch officially this week. Bullet Proof Samples is not a Berger Bullets LLC company, but we are supportive of their efforts and believe that they will be addressing a need in the shooting community that is presently unavailable.”

It would be useful if bullet manufacturers would print the nominal bullet length on the box and in their advertising. I select bullets based on the stability factor (Sg) for my twist and I use the length to calculate Sg. I can call Sierra and they will give that information, but it would be helpful to have it on the packaging.
What about bulletsamples.com? He’s been around awhile and I think he’s a member of the forum? Maybe not anymore,but I learned of him on this site.
YES!!! YES!!!! YES!!!! SIGN ME UP!!
I used to deal with bulletsamples.com. Good guy, but I believe he went out of business.
Nate, Berger lists all the dimensional data for our bullets including OAL in the quick reference sheet:

For other (non-Berger) bullets, I have dimensional drawings for over 200 bullets in my book: Applied Ballistics for Long Range Shooting:

Thanks Bryan. I was just on Nosler’s site and I see thay are listing length now.
Bulletsamples.com is still in business. We offer from .17 thru .308 2010 was slow because of low inventory and the lack of availability of bullets due to many factors. However those problems no longer exist.
