I would suggest that even at 2,200fps, the 405gr. bullets are being pushed too fast for hunting. Around 1,900fps is about tops for them as bonanza says, they're meant for low velocity .45/70 loads.
; Proper 400gr. are available, as are 350gr. Speer bullets. If you are looking for an accurate, heavily jacketed bullet, this one might work for you and is cheap compared to others. It's .060" thick jacket holds together even when drivden at 2,400 fps. I found them exceptional for a light bullet in the .458 Alaskan at up to 2,500fps.
