You will be OK. Use a good spring though as always.

That should work with no issues. We have ran and sold that combination hundreds of times.

Personally, if you are set on beehives for that cam I would use Pac or PSI springs. I'm using pac 1518's here with no problems. They have 2500 miles on them as of now.
