Eley Cartridge Length
Hey All!
Looking for training fodder for my Matchguns MG2. Because of the tilting "elevator", I tend to have extraction issues with longer rounds. CCI SV and Aguila are out. I bought a case of Eley Contact, thinking as a European round it would be shorter, but nope, it's not. Luckily, it runs well in my conversions and Hammerli. I have some SK pistol match special that runs perfect, but looking for a cheaper round. So...
Are certain labels of Eley shorter, and closer to Euro spec? Which ones? Sticking with SK is fine, but just want to give myself options. I remember someone putting out a spreadsheet with some measurements a while back, but can't find it via search.
Any help is appreciated!

And of course I just found it. Looks like sticking with SK or possibly looking for RWS is the way to go.

Yep, SK and RWS are consistently the shortest.
Now to find some GECO (RWS) discount stuff!
