    If cast, I'd need them sized, and gas check would be preferable I'd think.

    If you are loading for target/practice don't overlook lighter 480 Ruger type bullets. For target loads that regulate out of a 470 N.E. double I have used a 375 grain g/c boolit over 5744.

    Check if you need a gas check at 1200 fps. Not sure if you need it unless you're paranoid about leading like I am after leading a 450 N.E. because I got a little to rambunctious with the powder ��

    And I just bought a lb. of Trailboss to try in a couple of boomers, let the world know how your load shoots. Always looking for loads that have worked for someone else.
