Powder compression in 300aac

I'm a little new to rifle loading. I'm loading a 178 gr Hornady A-Max with 15.8 grains of IMR 4198. My rounds were a little to long and a few were catching on the rifling, they shot fine, and I don't see any signs of over pressure on the case. I had to lower the bullet .060 deeper into the case. Should I worry about blowing up my gun or should I be fine?
UPDATE: Primer pocket is not expanded but the primers from the fired cases that were too long are flattened a little bit. I think I'm going to have to pull 90 rounds.
