Depends upon the age of the chamber.
Regardless of your chamber measurement, you would know when you closed the bolt whether the bullet was in the lands.
I have two 'out of the box' new Savages that had Federal GMM rounds touch the lands when brand new.
I actually set the GMMs back 0.005 in OAL to get them to chamber easily. After 100 rounds or so, I didn't have to do that any longer.
I have found that most Federal GMMs are seated about 0.005 short of SAMMI recommended OALs, but you may have gotten some OAL outliers or your chamber was bored a bit short.
My other 7 new Savages didn't have any problem - at least 0.005 from the lands, brand new.
My new Savages that were bought after 2010 all had chambers that were close to SAMMI OALs.
My oldest 2008 vintage had a chamber that was 0.080 deeper than SAMMI.
All my Savages now have thousands of rounds down their tubes, so throat erosion has long ago eliminated any concerns.
My 12 FV .223 still groups great with 77 SMKs with OALs around 2.360 after 5670 rounds.
Since I reload, after the throat begins to erode, I simply seat the bullet out to the match the jump that works best for the individual bullet in that particular barrel.
