Bullet Identification

[justwondering01]

I recently received some bullets in a purchase that were unidentified. They are jacketed soft hollow points that measure .457 and 300grains. Anyone got an idea on what these could be used for? I have looked through my Speer book and can't find anything close to this diameter and weight combination in a jacketed bullet.

Sound like Hornady XTP for the 45-70.

Sierra makes a 300 gr 45-70 HP.

Could be Remington bulk bullets too.

45 Silhouette maybe? http://www.reloadbench.com/cartridges/w45silh.html
