I got a similar result comparing the 105 hpbt to the 103 eldx (the one I hope to use).
I measure the ogive for 105 at 0.602; and the 103 eldx at 0.650. From base to ogive on each is basically equal, using my calipers and the case mouth of a 6 CM as the ogive "marker."
By the way, looking at these and the case size, and the saami chart, it appears as though the whole intent of these long-for-caliber bullets is to seat well into the throat/ lands area (though I'm sure, not touching).
