Not as far as I know. The .454 Casull produces way to much pressure and case head thrust for the Contender. At least that was the answer I received from T/C many years ago when I asked the same question.

I want to say I agree with the above answer but mainly due to the .454 being chambered in the Encore, and not in the Contender.  It's a pressure issue.
