I would stick with the Sierra bullet, Hornady's max for their bullet is 51.2grs H4198. Hornady only pushes that bullet to 2200fps in their 450 Marlin, and 2100fps in their .458 WinMag data, that tells me it's not made for faster velocities as far as terminal performance.
On the other hand, Sierra's 458Winmag data shows it good for 2550fps, so it's likely a bit tougher bullet. Hodgdon H4198 data pushes it to 2424fps in their levergun data, and 2532fps in their Ruger data.
