Ignition Override

Having read a few months ago that it should be safe, I did so, but have Not yet used any of these forty rounds. To be clear, I'm a plinker, often hitting orange spots on concrete blocks.
Some once-used Prvi .303 cases were loaded with 45 (start) grains of H 4831, and it seems that the Lee chart giving loads for that powder in these cases should be reliable, as they must be well aware of how this powder leaves less space in the neck for the bullet.
The only thing which made me a little uncomfy was that when seating the 150 gr. bullets, a bit of resistance by the powder was felt using the press, compared to using IMR 4064, in order to keep the case length within the max. 3.075".
A friend sold me 4 lbs. of this powder along with mostly H4895 (saving this for the Garand).
