I have seven factory TC barrels and this condition is prevalent in most of them. My 30 Herrett barrel is much the same as yours. If I drop a 130 gr bullet into the chamber and then measure to the back of the slug the measurement exceeds case length. Other calibers I have will seat close to the lands only with heavy bullets if I want to keep one caliber of depth inside the case mouth.
I have read some information from [he who cannot be named] and others on the long throats of factory TC barrels. This does not mean these barrels won't shoot well, it just means that if you get a barrel that needs playing with in order to shoot well, you have one less option to play with.
On threads which discuss rechambering a factory TC barrel, long throats or eccentric throats are many time sited as the deciding factor. Hope this helps.
