Sir, your brain is telling you right--seat 'em out farther. A common OAL is 1.25" or so. Thing is, SWC designs differ in nose shape and length, so OAL isn't a hard-and-fast rule.

FWIW, I seat mine so the leading edge of the bullet's forward band is about flush with the case mouth or just a bit proud. So long as they'll still fit and feed through the magazine, this seems to work well.

Hope this helps, and Semper Fi.
