What is the influence of overal length?

Thanks Sieger, thats really a very interesting description. At least I understand now how critical the length is. I must admit I did not take the angle into account when I was thinking about the cause of the malfunction. I guess I will have to get a calipher to check each new type of amunitioin. Whitebox Winchester is sometimes hard to get around here, I don't know why, but I will stay away from the reloaded ones form the range.
I don't reload myself so I don't know much about that yet. Maybe I will look into that if I run into problems with the Winchester ammunition, but from what I read here, that one should be fine.
Or is there really a difference in mechanical performance that makes reloading worth while?
