as for airspace, as anyone actually tested that wive's tale? I have read many times where a cartridge rifle was shot with a lesser powder charge that left an airspace between the bullet/powder.... well, how could it really unless you were shooting straight up??
I had a 500BPE and fired it many times with a downloaded round, as recoil was.... er... impressive in that rifle.
never once did it ever feel like a full power load
in a muzzleloader, I don't know how an airspace would cause any concern, except for poor performance
