Just wanted to check to make sure I am not missing something....

I just got a used Stoney Point OAL gauge and was playing with it tonight. I have two different Savage .223s.

The first one is an older 110FP. Late 90s vintage. The gauge measured 2.40" to the lands.

The second one is a new 12FV. The gauge measured 2.29" to the lands.

Maybe I just need a little practice using this gauge, but it kind of surprised me at the difference. Probably more surprised on how long the older one measured.

Is this within the "normal" range?
