As others have said above, single loading is the required method of loading in the 200 yard slow fire standing and the 600 yard slow fire prone stages of a high power match. However, there is always a very remote possibility of a slam fire with an AR-15 or even an M1 Garand. Even when the round is loaded from a full magazine. I personally witnessed an M1 Garand slam fire - and got pelted with the resulting spray of gravel. The AR-15 and M1 Garand have free floating firing pins. They don't have a spring on the firing pin like a bolt action rifle. So, when the bolt goes forward, the firing pin can hit the back of the primer. Normally, there is not enough force to detonate the primer, but it can happen.
ALWAYS have your muzzle pointed at the berm when you release the bolt.
If you shoot factory 5.56 ammo, they usually use a harder primer to resist slam fires. If you reload, research which primer brands have harder primer cups - CCI 450 magnum and CCI #41 have harder primers.
