to clarify the fire forming loads weren't soft they were just middle of the road loads from ADI load data, where as the charge ladder was from middle of the road to just above book max.

How do you know 40 wont chamber and eject and not just one or two ? I run all my Ackley reloads through the chamber to check em and some batches get a few tight ones that resize themselves when chambered. At home you can bang the bolt down with your palm - something you dont want to do in the field.
