I've shot thousands of the 70 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip Varmints in my 6x45 AR. They are almost exactly the same as the Varmageddons except for the small boat tail and a little better accuracy and are interchangable from a load standpoint. I load them at 2.30 which is the longest a mag will allow them (ASC gives the longest COAL in 223 mags). I have no idea what the jump is, but the ogive is right at the case mouth. Meaning it's a BIG jump and they don't mind it at all.
In 6mm ARC I would be more focussed on being deep enough in the neck as r.t said. The general rule of thumb is depth should be equal to diameter, but I've certainly gone less. There's an old thread about these somewhere. I played with them a little but stopped to conserve since they're my 6x45s favorite bullet. I'd start with around 0.2" of grip in the neck and see where that takes you.
