I have been shooting variations of this load for years.
45-70
300 grain Hornady Hollow Point seated to 2.54" and crimped with a Lee Factory Crimp die
Winchester brass trimmed to 2.1", if necessary
CCI 200 primers
55 grains of H4198
2160 fps from a 22" barrel
28,000 CUP
Sighted 3" high at 100 yards it is about 3.5" low at 200 yards.
You might want to look into the new Speer UniCore .458 300 grain bullet. I've seen pictures of text book expansion on hogs at close range.
