The data isn't going to be any different from a bolt gun, you're just limited on length if you want it to work through the magazine. I think the 77gr. Sierra will feed through the mag, but the 80gr. has to be singly loaded. The powder manufacturer of your choice should have data in their books or on their web site.

I saw a magazine modification one time that may help. The front of the mag had a cut about 3 inches down the front that was about 3/4 inch wide that allowed the tips of the heavier bullets to stick out of the magazine and into the extra space in the mag well. The cut was only long enough to load 8-10 rounds, but it was better than single loading.

This is the link to the site I saw the modification on.Click on the "AR-15/m-16 magazine mods".
