Default IMR 700-X Question

With the powder situation the way it is I'm out of Green Dot and can't find any. I can get IMR 700-X. Looking up load info for it I found a load for 1 oz. shot using all the components I used in my Green Dot load. The 700-X load will make 7,500psi at 1100fps. That's 500psi higher and 50fps slower than my Green Dot Load. I want to keep shooting my Twist and Damascus guns so my question is. The 700-X is a faster burning powder than Green Dot, does that mean the pressure will spike faster than the Green Dot?

Is this something to be concerned with????? Or, is the 700-X okay? I'm Still learning about reloading so any info is appreciated.

Thanks
