I have a 2nd Hand Ejector converted, half-converted, to .45 ACP via a cylinder swap. It still retains the way-oversized bore, so G.I. hardball shoots more of a pattern than a group. Handloads utilizing .454" bullets are good for minute of paper plate accuracy at 25 yards.
The old factory .45 Colt rounds, with the plain lead or copper washed, pointed bullets, also had hollow bases that were supposed to expand when encountering the wide variations seen in .45 Colt cylinders and bores, so they might shoot just fine in a .455 converted to .45 Colt.
