Default Pressure Problem for .22 Hornet?

I bought some V-max ballistics (50 gr.) for the Hornet to use on coyotes. Because of design, it seats pretty deeply to meet OAL specs in reloading manual. I'm using starting load (8.4 gr.) IMR 4227 which is listed at about 65% useful capicity in the manual. Rating for maximum load is 79% useful capacity. With the deeper seat, am I going to get too much pressure? It's a Winchester Model 43 bolt. Thanks.
