Seems like .457 would be a touch heavy on the diameter for .45 Colt, but it can be sized down to fit. I wouldn't worry about what it's called. I'd just shoot it and see how it does.

Jim,
Sounds like they should run just fine in the .45 Colt.

Early .45 Colt bullets were .456/.457" diameter. In fact, here's a box of Winchester .45 Colt bullets circa late 1970' early 1980's. Note the diameter.....
