I think the safe operating pressures for the two cartridges are similar. Bob Hagel did it years ago.

Pressure is one factor but the body diameter of the cartridges considered is significant given the fixed diameter of the barrel shank. In this case, the two cartridges have the same belt and body diameters. Keep the operating pressure in the same range and you should have no issues ...
