Default I got an itch

OK all you 54 cal fans I have some questions. You all know that I've been shooting 50 and 45 cals for years but I have a hankerin for a 54.
I have an old barrel laying around in 50 that I am planning on getting reamed and sleeved to 54 cal and want to shoot big conicals out of it. I can also cast bullets cause I have lots of lead. So you can recommend a mould. I was leaning toward a big 380 gr Lee REAL or 410 gr Minnie.
So my question is: What is a good big conical bullet or bullet/sabot combo and what rate of twist would you recommend for it? (I can get any twist rate I want)
