Barnes:
Specifically the 400 grain for use in 45-70. Is this an all copper bullet? If not what is the construction? Any experiences on game? Accuracy and recipes?
Woodleigh:

I have used the .411's and they say Premium Jacketed Soft Nose. I would call them a round nose more than a flat point. What is the jacket thickness of the .458's? Are they flat point or round nose? Any experiences on game? Accuracy and recipes?

I have used the Barnes 400 original. It is a standard copper jacket/lead core construction. There was at one point 2 versions with different jacket thickness. Now I believe there is just one version. I used IMR-3031 in remington cases with cci primers and loaded to 1600fps for hunting. The bullets performed well with good expansion and no core seperations.
I've not used woodleigh in 45/70, however I use the 535 grain woodleigh in my 50 alaskan with good results.
