I've not had any trouble getting the swc to feed with the front driving band exposed as long as the col remains close to 1.256-1.266 (with the acp). I feel that the tapered 'nose' of the swc aids in the feeding. I do find that my 255 LEE reqiures a shorter col than the swc because of its wider melplat.
