I happen to have two boxes of Sierra MK 80gr. The COL is listed at 2.550. However, that won't fit into an AR-15 magazine...in fact, it isn't even close. Will seating it deeper than normal create any dangerous pressure situations? I have a Remington 700 which I assume has a 1:14" twist which won't cut it.

Any suggestions?
