Can't seem to find any good data for a 245gr cast & powder coated bullets for the 454 casull ?
Lee Mold , but it's out in garage and I can't remember mold number.

may use some of the bullets in the 460 S&W , if any data is available .

have about 1000 ready but no load for reference.

thanx in advance

Unless you're looking to push them to the absolute upper edge of safe loads, I don't know why you couldn't just use ~250 grain data.

If you are shooting a boolit from a Lee mold in 45 caliber it is not 245 grains. The 452-255-RF or 452-252-SWC is likely what you are referencing, a 255-260 grainer. The issues you may face in pushing maximal, if that is your intent, would be the hardness issues as a soft plain base cast boolit will have one hell of a transition from the cylinder throats to the forcing cone creating possible boolit slump, leading and inaccuracy issues.
