6XC OAL Question

[RaptorAddict]

Hi all! So I am in the beinning stages of devoping loads for my new build chambered in 6XC. I am checking my OAL by taking unprimed brass and seating the 115gr DTACs very shallow. I loaded it into the chamber and turned the bolt to where there was some pressure as it was driving the projectile into the brass. I dialed the measurment back by .010 off the rifling and I came up with an OAL of 2.830. Does this measurement seem a bit long for this cartridge??? I've seen it mentioned in other areas at 2.80, but not where I'm at. Any concern here??? Just seeing if I may have found this OAL the wrong way, or not. Any input is greatly appreciated!

Rifle Description:
Krieger 26" Heavy Varmint with 1:75 twist barrel
Kelbly's Prometheus Action
6mm XC cartridge

Doesn’t seem like a completely unreasonable to me. Does it chamber easily and extract the round smoothly? Or can you feel it sticking still? Light touch, not gorilla fisting

Where it's set right now, it chambers like butter. No resistance at all.

And with .010 or .020 more you feel it trying to engrave the bullet into the lands? If so then it sounds like you got it whooped.
