Shoudn't be any problem. The short barel will lose some velocity so very unlikely the bullet will be over revved.
The only time I've seen this actually happen was when testing some 110 grain HP "varminter" bullets designed for use in a 30/30 out of a 30/06. Short range target looked like it was hit by #8 shot.
