Default 9mm NATO ammo

I am just wondering what the OAL of the factory ammo is now.

NATO ammo years ago set at Euro specs were usually at the maximum OAL of 1.14 " and 1.165" for the larger 124gr FMJ.

It would be interesting to see what Winchester or the other USA companies are setting their ammo at.
I would think a little shorter to fit in all the different types of weapons used today.

I was just under the impression that in the old days with the old slow powders used, they needed the maximum length to get enough powder in the case......... not this problem with todays upgrades and improvements.
