400 gr bullets for .405 Win

Just watched the Tracks Across Africa issue in which Boddington's daughter shot a buff with a .405 win in a Ruger #1. They used special loads from Hornady with 400 gr bullets. Can these bullets be had?

Hornady only shows their 300gr bullets on the web site. The only 400gr .411" jacketed bullets I'm aware of are Woodleigh, Hawk and Swift.

I think they used the Woodleigh bullets, I've used them in my #1 and they're great bullets.

Hopefully Hornady will get their $h!t together and start selling .411" or .410" bullets and we'll have a reliable source of good projectiles...
