My main concern would be making sure the bullet you're looking at is feeds reliably in a semi auto. Other than that all the normal rules apply.
Heres a bit of info that was given to me by hamilton bowen with regards to barrel gap. I had to inquire about possibly fixing mine up when I get ready to ship it out to him for a perfected bisley...
Starline is generally very good brass for all pistol calibers. Starline says directly on their website they test their 45 colt brass to pressure levels of the 44 mag so you should be okay to load to...
Might have more to do with where he lives. Gets cold enough you just might need a magnum primer for reliable ignition, even with powders other than H110/296.
