I have a Satern barrel that I bought directly from Satern. It's supposed to have a SAAMI chamber. I've read about other people having chambers too short to load the SSTs to what many other people consider normal lengths but it looks like I got and exceptionally short chamber. If I load the SSTs any longer than 2.215 I push the bullets into the lands. That means that even the factory loaded 123 SSTs are into the lands.
That's the shortest I've seen reported. Is that within the realm of normalcy or did they miscut the chamber? I trim the cases a little short and I still can't even see the canelure if I seat the bullets deep enough to keep them off of the lands.
