The JHP is usually set shorter than a RN "Ball" bullet due to it's shape and one reason for the shorter OAL's in this photo.

This picture shows how a different OAL and a different powder used with a bullet in a pistol and make or break good accuracy.

Good loading.
But that tells you little about oal affects on accuracy since you used diff powders. Oal can help or hurt acciracy but its not definitive either way.
