this could have a long list but for me the short list would be.

Any .45x Partition

Barnes MZ or X coppers in at least the 275gr class and above.

Barnes Original 300gr Semi Spitzer or the 400gr if you can get it to stabilize..ive never tried the 400gr.

Any Lehigh with 250gr or more. I would lean toward the 277gr .459 since it fits better in my guns than the .458. Ive never tried the 305gr so i cant comment on it.

Swift .458 A frames

Combined Technologies copper poly tipped 300gr .458 SOCOM bullet if it shoots well for you. Its a boat tail so.... but the pricing is right and its made by Nosler for Winchester.

No particular order on the above. Whichever shoots best for you and the range/conditions you are likely to be shooting.

The best part is the Partitions are on sale right now in .452-260 and 300gr for half price $24/50 or less. Thats a steal for a bullet that has almost no chance of failure. The Partition .458s are still about a buck each.
