I used the Stoney Point OAL gauge on a new AR. OAL to the lands is a whopping 2.445". Is that out of the of the norm? Lyman spec is 2.260". I know it's only a "suggestion", but I assume a 2.445" inch round isn't going to feed, right?
What is the longest OAL .223 that will feed reliably from an AR mag?
The bullet is a 55gr FMJBT:

Should I try a different bullet. Can the ogive be that wacky on cheap bullets? Am I missing something or is this just a characteristic of an autoloader?
