There does seem to be a point where a plain base will create lead vapor, which can deposit in a gas system. the check seems to remedy this. Between the two, we get a fairly generous range of use.
My current application is a full house 350 legend from an AR.
It seems to be giving me the goods as I discover a few pitfalls along the way
You can do whatever you want to the nose of the bullet, It is the base that must be kept intact for accuracy, One of the gun rags had a study on deformation of bullets and the effects on accuracy. That was their findings.
