I guess no one believes it but I have read that the better .45 ACP factory loads are better than any .45 Colt (or .44 Special) loads. But you certainly have to have faith in your ammunition.
On the other hand, I've heard claims of even higher velocities from a 7 1/2" Colt SAA in .45 Colt. But you can't put your "modern .45 Colt" loads in one of them.
