This belongs in the hand loading forum but, yes, factory barrels have long throats to ensure all factory ammo will fit. An example would be a round nose bullet. A round nose .308" bullet used to be common and they have an extremely long bearing surface. Hence the long throat in your rifle. Now if you are only going to be shooting spitzer type bullets, you could take it to a smith and have him re-chamber it with a shorter throat. Other than that, their is not much you can do other than load them out to the rifling and load them one at a time, as has benn covered already.
