well i just recieved my barrel today an AA 24". I was so excited i assembled the rifle and proceded to check the cycling. First rounds to cycle(by hand, with the charging handle) were hornaday 123 amex factory rounds. No problems there. Then i tried some 123 grain smk hand loads. length was measured at 2.256. The round stuck in the barrel. I assuming its getting stuck on the lands. Well after some fooling around with round lenght i found that 2.250 is the longest that i can chamber. Is this normal? i thought i should be able to atleast chamber to mag length of 2.26.
