Default Help: Projecting Anchor Bolts

I've purchsed some projecting anchor bolts to enable me to put a heavy load
on a wall (TV to be precise).

As I'm a complete newbie at DIY I drilled the first 16mm hole this evening.
I then proceeded to put the anchor bolt into the hole. The problem I found
was that the thicker end of the anchor bolt would not go fully into the hole
and I ended up having to use a hammer to knock the bolt in. I'm certain this
can't be the right way. So was wondering if anyone could give me some advice
on how I'm supposed to install anchor bolts.

The type of bolt I'm talking about can be seen here.

Thanks for any help
