I don't like compressed loads either. However Hornady's factory 'Light Magnum' cartridges are compressed.

Powder has its own "air supply" and the initial detonation, actually expanding gas, will move the bullet enough to provide 'space'.

I must assume (you know what that means

) that since the data is provided it is 'safe' when properly worked up to.
