I have shot 540gr out of my 5.25# 458. I'm not sure I'm still up for that level of punishment. You might look over http://castboolits.gunloads.com/at

edit I'd favor unique for that light of loading. Not sure you will get a good crimp with bullet seated deep enough to cycle in the action. The 330gr Gould hollow point 457122 would be a nice choice.

Just looking for 1100 to 1200 fps and know I will need to seat the bullet deep.

What would be a good Unique load to start at?

I'd start at 10gr Unique. All the loads say to use a wad/filler to hold the powder at the base. The cast boolit people have interesting threads
