I've been loading 80 gains of loose powder and let the air space go hang.
Is that safe to ignore air space behind the charge and projectile in a barrel?
If so, why?

I did my research first tho because I had the same questions.
What did your research tell you regarding air space behind the charge and projectile in the barrel like that?

This is the main most reason you can't get rid of it. The breechblock has a built in airspace.
You mean most people don't want it because of their concerns about an air space behind the charge and projectile in the barrel? Which begs the question of "why?" and if people are concerned about that, that goes back to my question of what did your research tell you about safety and overpressure concerns regarding said air space behind the charge and projectile?
