Thats not what I was getting at, but as long as you find a combo that works it is all good. Had a mate loading subs in his 7.62x39, but the 150gr would not work with that amount of powder (Inconsistant ignition due to half a shell worth of powder, but if he filled it up it was too fast. we tried soe 200gr casts and they same powder load had better ignition (No space / void in the shell) and the 200gr slowed down to about Subsonic.

He found using a softer lead helped but you are very correct that placement atthese speeds is a biggy...
