It's called a compressed load you seat the bullet down on top of the power nothing can flow out. I've loaded compressed loads before but seating depths can be inconsistent especially if you have lighter neck tension. The bullet seating depth variance is the biggest issue, especially if you are just off the lands. I guess some folks are concerned that crushing powder when you seat a bullet is dangerous but it's absolutely safe. When I started loading 40+ years ago I loaded 53 gr of IMR4350 under a 139 gr Hornady in my 7x57. This load was actually in the Hornady load guide at that time and it would fill the case almost to the top of the neck. Made nice crunching sounds when seating bullets. I recommend using a drop tube as it helps get a more consistent powder density with compressed loads. I was shooting a compressed load in a 308 when I first started longrange shooting it was with 4064 and that's when I figured out compressed loads can be inconsistent but like you said a drop tube will help with consistency. Some of those SRBR shooters use a 12in drop tube!
Keep your booger hooker off the bang switch.
