    tabular* doesn't add space on the left as you used @ you could use ! from array package. (but the | are still misplaced unless you put them in their own column) tabularx can adjust the width of the first column see the \hsize=1.5\hsize examples in the manual or this site. tabulary not over-expanding is a documented feature (there is some code on this site to over-ride that) because 999 times out of 1000 stretching a table to full width just makes it harder to read for no benefit so in my innocent youth I thought no one would ever want to do that.
