2.260" if for anything magazine fed.  You can go longer if single feeding

^ That's it.^   I might add that you should have at least one bullet diameter of bullet seating into the case as well.  Not written in stone, just a good rule of thumb for adequate neck tension. Remember, seating deeper reduces pressure, so if you start out at 2.260 and feel you need to seat deeper, your pressures will not increase causing a high pressure situation.

They make a few different .224 Z/V Max bullets, so it would help if you let us know the specifics.  Also, what weapon will this be for?

I don't know if you'd want to load the 50gr bullets out to 2.260", but yeah...it probably doesn't matter much with the longer/heavier bullets.  2.220"-2.250" would be safe.

2.25" works for me with the 55 gr z-max

Typo, or do you actually seat  to 2.350 and load them single shot?
