yes so you are getting some bullet movement. the 95 sst for my chambers, does a max OAL of 2.200-2.205, so this is one I seat to 2.180.
The hornady 100 sp is a little longer in the ogive than sierra 100, I have one chamber max at 2.180 but I haven't used it much in Arc.
90 Eldx I have OALs around 2.215-2.220, I seat those at 2.175-180.
Another factor for these tangent bullets is to ensure there is enough shank in the case neck for proper hold. Bottom rim of the shank-boattail interface at least meeting the bottom of the neck.
But yeah the Lee fcd will help you out on these.
Of all the ones youi list the only ones I use now in ARc from time to time are the 90 Eldx, I like the secant-90 sierra tgk much better. Can seat out to 2.260 as its OAL is 2.33x.
hdy 103, berger 95's and 87 and 105 vlds, sierra tgk's, I like the better powder room these allow. but that's just me.
in 18" barrel, 90 eldx, you may be able to get around 2675-ish at max Vgt loads, there is a node about 2650-ish, but that's about it.
I've tried the 87 berger vld and Lever, 18", getting ~2830, better BC also.
Or the 90 tgk, 18" and Lever, ~2800.
these 2 guys are made for the 18-20" barrels IMO.
As always, ymmv and work up from lower for your barrel.
