It doesn't become anything really... You can seat the bullets to whatever height is appropriate.
Not criticising here, just asking, have you done any reloading before?
Sort of sounds a bit like your ruling things out and pushing the envelope elsewhere without doing a few basic loads? Correct me if I'm wrong on that, it's just the way it sounds.
What powder and what COAL are sort of part of 'reloading 101' so... Just asking to make sure the basics are understood first?

Alliant, ADI/Hodgdon, Vihtavuori/Lapua, Accurate... There are a bunch mate.
Why don't you want to use ADI btw? Because their load data for 22-250 doesn't include 75gr pills?

A bunch of alternatives. Not a bench mark
