Each rifle is different. So, there's no guarantee that something that works for another shooter will work for you.
But... as a general rule, it's the meplat and nose length that matter the most for levergun feeding.
As the meplat gets wider, the nose must get shorter. ...right up to the point that you have a full wadcutter.
As the meplat gets smaller, the nose can get longer. ...right up to the point that you reach the max COAL your rifle can handle.
Most SWCs have small enough meplats that they don't have to be seated deeply, but WFN (Wide Flat Nose) designs sometimes need to be seated deeper than expected (or designed).
