No problem shooting .452". Probably no problem shooting .454", if the rounds will chamber with a bullet of that size.
More than a few people load 250-260 grain bullets in .45 ACP, as driven a low velocities they can be sufficiently powerful with low recoil. Not all .45 bullets of that weight are shaped for good feeding in auto pistols.
