Question 5/16" Line to Small for Halyard?

I am looking to run my main halyard back to the cockpit on my Montgomery 17. I have few blocks that I would like to use that accommodate up to a 5/16" line. Does this line have enough strength to be used for this on a 17' sailboat?

From what I have read from various Google finds it should be fine. Just figured it wouldn't hurt to run it by Sailnet first....

What you think?
