Default Rear axle nut torque

I just torqued the axle nut on my rear axle to 200 ft/lbs and the cotter pin hole in the axle landed smack dab in the middle between two slots on the nut. The nut won't tighten any further (I set the torque wrench to 250 ft/lbs just to try to nudge it a little further but won't budge). Backing the nut off to where the cotter pin can be installed drops the torque to 100 ft/lbs.

What to do?
