Default Need Loop Advice

I have had a 75 meter loop up and down for several years. I guess I try a
different antenna every once and a while and always end up putting my loop
back up since reports are always the best. I feed it with 450 ohm line and
use it on all bands. I even had good results shorting the ends together and
using it on 160 meters.

Now my question, I would like to get up a loop on 160 meters. But my
measurements I am only going to be around 450 and maybe can get it to near
500 feet which is probably 50 to 100 feet or so short. I will be using 450
ohm line. Does anyone know of what kind of results I might see with this
length of loop? Should I just stick with my 75 meter or will I see any
gains going bigger?
