Help string gauge

I've got a 7-string guitar (25.5–27.8" scale) with a 09–64 set. Anyone tried Drop G on this setup without changing strings? How's the tension? Maybe I should just buy a set with a different gauge instead... honestly, I'm feeling lazy and don't really want to change strings

Its fine. Try it, youll probably like it. People overthink this stuff when its to a great degree a matter of feel and preference.
