That or BLC-2 should give you a no compression load as those two have the lowest density per grain of weight. If one of the two shoots well and gives you the velocity you want your issues are solved.

If the other two powders won't shoot and you are having trouble with compressed loads shooting consistently it is often caused by neck tension. The longer a compressed load sits with low neck tension the more likely it is to push the bullet out. Check you loads after a month and see if they all measure the same still. If push out is the issue the easiest fix is to add just a little crimp to hold the bullet in place.
