Load density, pressure profiles and more change when you do this, and it rarely turns out good.

    If you are looking for light loads for your .454, use light .454 loads, or shoot .45 Colt ammo in your guns.
    OP wants to load 45 Colt for a 454 gun in 454 brass. Catastrophic failure? Please. A standard pressure 45 Colt load with bullet deep seated to 45 Colt OAL in 454 brass isn't going to blow up a 454 gun.
