Could you rephrase that question? Factory ammo jams into the lands, maybe?? That's 0 freebore.

probably a euro, they use the comma instead of decimal.
hence my assumpion is he has a cartridge OAL of 2.800" and he's wondering how deep people have measured the throat/freebore so he can compare.
Can't help in any way technically, but hope the translation helps someone get him an answer.

Hehehehe....
With no indication of bullet choice the OAL means nothing to anyone that may have the time or inclination to offer assistance to the OP's predicament.
Or maybe the OP can provide a base to ogive measurement......

He's obviously from Europe and is doing his best to type in english; but looks like this thread is too full of douche bags to understand that.
I don't have a 40 XS to compare max COAL for you, but you may try contacting Remington and see if they have the chamber/reamer specifications.

Get some medium coarse steel wool and polish up a bullet by turning it in your hand. This will polish the bullet in a circular manner and it will easily show marks on the bullet if it is contacting the lands (rifling). If you have a bullet seating die you can seat the bullets deeper until the marks disappear. With my .308 Palma '95 chamber and 168 grain Sierra bullets, the cartridge oal is roughly 2.775" to be .025" off the lands. I have seen factory 168 grain ammo that measures 2.820" oal which is way too long for my chamber. Hope this helps.
Edit to add: try this also, make sure the chamber is clean and dry and stand the rifle with the muzzle up and insert a new factory cartridge into the chamber with your finger, if it will not drop free on it's own, then the bullet is most likely sticking in the lands. You can do this also after you seat the bullets deeper.

71,
I was aware that the OP had a problem with english, but I think that problem needs to be delt with prior to building bombs to explode next to his face. I think he is working from an english manual with limited understanding.
Next douche bag.
