Contradictory Issues?

[popgun]

There may be a different measurement between using a SAC and a Hornady comparator, but that bullet touches the lands at 1.720" using a 3-24 insert in my chamber and has an OAL of 2.239". If and this is a big if, the comparators measured close to the same, the bullets are seated about .130" further into the case than where I load. It could be causing higher pressure and the ejector marks. What's the OAL of a loaded round?
BTW I also have a Criterion barrel done up by Compass Lake.
