New Savage 11VT .308 need advice

[Uncle H]

I have a Savage Model 11VT .308 from Dicks , and I can tell you for sure what the problem is, THE THROAT IS SHORT, I have found mine to be the same way. Here is a picture using a Hornday O.A.L tool, the bullet was pushed up against the lands. The caliper is set at 2.800, the bullet is a Sierra 168 MK. The recommended length in the Sierra Load Data is 2.800, you can see how much you would have to jamb it into the lands to close the bolt if the bullet was seated to suggested C.O.A.L. I have checked the head space on mine with gauges, the chamber is ok, it appears the problem is in the throat.
