240 SMK OAL in a Pacnor

[rumlover]

Gents,

Just picked up a new barreled upper. It's got a Pacnor barrel cut by Spook. As I'm loading some 240 SMKs, I tried a COL of 2.15 and the bullet jammed into the lands. So I reseated them to 2.0 and it would chamber. Is that common? Even factory loaded 220 SMKs from Corbon were too long. It just seems like a lot of the bullet in deep into the case.

Thanks,
Rum

A 240 SMK is inside 3/4 of the case length. I don't think I've ever seated a pill that deep into a case.
