Default +P .45 Colt load data using cast bullets?

Can't seem to find what I'm looking for anywhere.
I want to load 250gr. RNFP .452 cast bullets in my .45 Redhawk. I want to achieve 1200 fps or more and can't find load data for anything close. The bullets are commercially made, not home growns.
Can I substitute any .250gr data for .45C +P to use a cast bullet?
I've loaded lots of Hornady XTP's in 240 & 250 with much success. But I want to try cast 'cause the price is so much lower . . .
Also heard from several sources that I will have a more accurate load with cast bullets.
