Yes, it's safe to shoot. It'll just thump you a little harder, and your vertical shot placement may change a bit.

MG's need the heavier ammo, as it gives more impact to target, and it gives a bit greater range. Simple physics - a heavier bullet travels farther with a flatter trajectory up to a point.
