Length of 168 and 180g TSX

Could someone do me a favor and measure these bullets? I am thinking of using them in a 300 Win on a Mauser that only has a 3.40" box and need to know if I have adequate lengthe for these bullets. Any specific experiences using these bullets in a mag box of this length would be great also. Thanks a million!

The new 165 is 1.302 and you have plenty of room. My 180s are all loaded so I can't help with the length on that one.

The 168 is 1.315" and shoot wonderfully in my 30-06.

Exactly what I needed, thanks guys. Looks like I can begin with the 168's without significant problems.
