Default Help me make this load make sense

I found this load on the hodgdon data site. I'm going to be loading some .45 ACP LSWC rounds. Here's my two concerns. The bullets I'm ordering are .452, not .451. Seconly, isn't their COL a little shorter than what most 1911s like? I've heard mainly 1.250 is good. Any thoughts?

200 GR. CAST LSWC
Powder - 231
Dia - .451"
COL - 1.225"
Charge - 4.4
Vel - 771

the best advice i can give is, since you stated these are NOT the bullets you are ordering, get load data for the ones yo will actually be using.

I use load data for the weight and style of the bullet. With bullets such as Berry's there are no reloading manuals. Another consideration would be to slug the barrel to check the diameter.
