Both Hornady 9 and 10 show 2.105" on the cartridge drawing as well as the listed Max Case Length (which is SAAMI Max Spec, min spec is 2.085"). The Trim-To length in both is 2.095", which is pretty common for them - SAAMI spec is -.020, so they go -.010. Both list the trim-to length for the 250grn Monoflex and 325 FTX as 2.040", in deference to the longer ogive and tip on these bullets.

I'll assume the 2.035" trim to length is in some way associated with the FTX or Monoflex bullets, being 5 thou shorter than the specified Trim To length in the 2 more recent versions. As noted above, SAAMI spec is 2.105 - 0.020", so trim length should be between 2.085 and 2.105 (clean chamber, perfectly cut to spec).
