I think this could be near perfect set for you.
I'd probably go with 12-56, but that's again a matter of choice.

Think these would be better as the 3rd string is plain.

I usually use 10-60 Boomers, or 11-59 Diaddario 7 string set

I've yet to try them but DR do a 13-65 "mega heavy" set in their Drop Down Tunings range.

DDT Electric Strings | DR Strings

I've used DR'd before and they are great strings, gonna order a couple of sets of these mega heavys sometime this week.

I use a standard D'Addario 10 - 59 set on my RG7321 in Drop A.

By the way... There's already a thread for this.

I use a 74 for a low E on my 8 string... Like... The E BELOW the standard E.

You're crazyyy

I used a .090 for a low E





No but really, I say try a .068 if you're use to high tensions. I personally am like Konfyouzd and use a .059 (sometimes a .060) for A, but a .068 should work just fine for you.

^ What scale length? That may be the difference.

I use 11-52 66 half step drop d and it seems perfect to me.

6 strings, not 7. The second string in 10-46 set is still 0.013

I personally use 12-52 for drop A in my 6 strings like the top nice and loose
