45 Win Mag & 260 HCL

OK
I get it
45 acp dies ( I have some ) should load 45 Win Mag fine.

I also have some 260 grain Hard Cast Lead 45 acp bullets (.452 I think)
What load ?
I want to drive them hard, but I don't want to lead up my 16 1/4 inch TC Barrel.

What Powder - How much of it ?

I've shot a number of 255 grain cast lead bullets on top of 11.0 grains 800X. Their kind of mild and only chrono at 1118 fps from 10" barrel TC. I'll try and find my old Hornady book it had data for 45 Win Mag.
