Hornady sst in auto loaders

has any body had any problems with loading and shooting harnady sst's in fn/fal's and M1A's. I was just wondering if the violent ride up the ramp and into the chamber would break the tip off?

I have shot Nosler Ballistic tip bullets in Fn-Fal, H&K 91, M1-A and M1 Garand rifles. without any problems.
Also the Sierra 165 HPBT Gameking has worked in all the above rifles with great performance on game.

Thanks for the replies. I'm going to load up a batch (500 or so) to run through a group of 308s/ 7.62 x51s. seem that the 165 would work as a good general purpose bullet. informal long range work and hunting light skined game. I just didn't want to tie up the actions in the gas guns with broken tips.
