Several of the manuals I have suggest an OAL round 1.135" +- .01".

I have some factory Federal 9mm using a 115 gr FMJ that mike out to 1.150" on average. Unless the Hornady bullet is abnormally squat for that weight and style, then 1.105" seems a bit short to me.

(Note - you need to edit your post and correct the first OAL you stated - 1.05".)
