550 Gr. Woodleighs in the Winnie?

Anyone ever try loading the 550 gr. Wooleigh bullets in the 458 WM?

Have gotten 2150 fps with the 500 gr. bullets using Varget. Just curious about trying the heavier bullet.

I was thinking about trying them in my Lott but haven't yet. I figure I could get them to 2200 FPS

I got 2200 fps in a 22" Lott with 79 to 80 gr. of IMR 4320 in case you want to try it.
