Were I you I would try the Lehigh 265gr .452 controlled fracturing. Lehigh makes the Bloodline bullets. The 220gr that my sister uses are .458 and even with the crush rib sabots they are still a bit stiff loading but they shoot extremely well from her rifle. I think the 265gr .452's would be just what the doctor ordered for you. You will still want to experiment a bit with different sabots to find the best combination for accuracy but with the .452 diameter you will open up a bit broader selection in sabots that you can use. I am currently shooting some of her 220gr .458's sabotless full sized out of my SML with pretty darn good accuracy out to 200 yards but after around 225 yards they start to open up in groups a bit. But 200 and in they stay within MOA. As of this season she has taken 5 whitetail with those Lehigh bullets and all have dropped within a few steps of point of impact if not dropped right there.
