Default Sizing cast bullets

I am going to be casting some bullets for my 45-70. These will be cast and sized to .457" diameter.
My question is, in order to shoot them out of my .45 caliber muzzleloader I would have to reduce them down to .451". Is this feasible with and alloyed bullet? I know .006" isn't much but can it be run through a die with busting a gut in the process?
