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

could be a couple of things but....

sometimes the hole will be filled with dust and bits of brick/plaster that
just restricts the bolt from going in, try running the drill for a few
seconds after you drill the hole and pull it in and out or use a hoover on
it.
