I'm new to the site but have been reloading about 10 years. My preference leans toward compressed loads for the safety of it. An example is the Nosler recipe for the 8x57 mauser of 52 grs. IMR 4350 w/200 gr. Partitions which is a Max. load and the most accurate in manuals 4,5 & 6. The only rememberance of dangerous compressed loads that I can think of was back during the 458 Win. Mag. problems in Africa when they would fail to fire properly.
