And drop the "Long", you'll get more respect from folks who know the proper name of the cartridge.

It is your gun and your call. Obviously by calling it a Long Colt, everyone knew what you were talking about.
Sometimes when you go to buy ammo and ask for .45 Colt, people think you mean .45ACP. Saying Long Colt will save you some trouble. Unless there is a "Purist" there who insist on schooling you on proper gun terms.
I have .45 Colt cartridges that say .45 Long Colt on them.
Either way, I do believe that by bumping up the charge a little more to what the other folks have recommended, you will notice a lot better performance.
I use Universal and 700-X in my .45 Long Colts cartridges, as well as some black powder. Have fun, shoot straight and keep the powder dry.
