barnes lrx crush powder or jam into lands

[uncledillers]

So I bought some barnes 175g LRX, and started to load the up for a ladder test. So from what I read these barnes solid metal bullets like to be loaded .050 jump. And I was going to do a test between 42-45grn of Varget.
My savage seems to have a short throat, 2.235 from base to ojive. So with a .050 jump that puts the bullet at 2.185. The problem is that when loading to the 2.185 I start to really crush powder at 43grn.

So is crunching powder ok, or should I load them with a lot less powder , or even just load them jammed?

Barnes says that copper bullet should be seated 0.50" from the lands to avoid overpressure, so I would definitively stick with 0.50"!
Just figure out what load of powder that you can use with this OAL and get a 100-105% loading density.
