Are you going to fire them higher later? Most clays a very brittle still at that temp, if you are not going to glaze them, even for sculptural work I think it is better to fire to specifications of the clay. Just get to temp but treat the whole firing as a bisqu fire schedule I work in celcius Make sure your work is very dry, to be even more sure, fire the kiln up to

150C the night before (increasing speed no faster than 100C per hour) and leave it to cool overnight. Then increase temp by 100C per hour to 600C Then increase temp by 150Cper hour to top temp. Good luck
