Default OAL for Hornady XTP .30?

I am seeking correct OAL for .30 cal. Hornady 90 gr. XTP bullets. No luck on search of previous posts. Thanks.

Please see my detailed posting, in this section, on how to determine proper overall cartridge lengths for Luger shooting.

Thanks to everyone for the advise. FYI, I have had success with the 90 gr. XTP seated at 1.100 OAL. I used Hugh's load data - 7.5 gr. of Blue Dot but next time at the range I will reduce the load until the hold open does not work to determine the lightest functioning load.
