Default Reloading 75 grain a-max for 223 (ar mag)

Hi, I picked up some 75 grain a-max a while back, and I am wanting to load them for my xcr-l. The problem is they are so dang long to go with the hornady info I have (2.39). I'm fairly new to reloading, but it just seems like I might have major pressure issues if I load to fit the mag (2.31 max). Has anyone loaded these for ar style mag/firearm?

Any info/suggestions would be great!

Thanks
Matt

I had a xcr-l. I never hand loaded for it but I tried Hornady 75gr btsp. They did not shoot as good as the Nosler custom.
