I recently bought a DPMS LR-308. It has a 16" barrel and a 1:10 twist. I'm not usually one to fuss too much about bullet weight, but my wife bought me some ammo for Christmas. She didn't know what to buy so she bought a variety, and one box is 110 gr Hornady TAP ammo.

I know with .223/5.56 ARs a light bullet with a fast twist can be bad news. Am I going to have any problems with such a light bullet in a 1:10 .308? Please don't throw too much info at me, as it will go over my head.
