Did you have any issues with pressure or cycling?
I know your upper is a carbine gas length so it is different then mine but still curious.
What do some of your OALs look like?

Some of the OALs I settled on are:
220 & 240 SMK - 2.145"
200 Hornady RN - 2.000"
175 Berger VLD - 2.245"
168 Prvi HPBT - 2.260"
155 Nosler CC - 2.165"
150 Hornady FMJ - 2.135"
145 Wideners M80-style - 2.200"
I use Accurate 1680 for everything from 100 to 240 grains, H110 was too hot for the carbine system. The only problem is that the heavy SMKs won't lock the bolt back no matter how hot I load them. I've loaded them to what Quickload estimates as 55000psi and they'll eject more or less regularly but never activate the BHO. The (what I estimate to be) subsonic loads won't even eject the brass. But seeing how much longer you're able to load them, I'll have to check mine again to see if I can't load them longer. When I encountered the first ones jamming the lands I just seated them .020" to .030" deeper and kept checking until they wouldn't jam, then took another .015" off to account for any anomalies.
