Compressed loads are not a big deal.
You are freaking out over nothing.
You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.

You are freaking out over nothing. But they may require crimping to prevent bullet movement over time, resulting in a longer and inconsistent COL, which can cause a variety of problems.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

I've compressed loads until the case bulged and never run into this issue. By and large this is just more internet BS.

I've had compressed loads push bullets in the 260 on several occasions. Bought a Factory Crimp Die and haven't seen any more issues.

You probably don't have a problem, as long as you are within book guidelines for powder & charge weight
