It is excellent in .45 ACP, but I have not tried it in .45 Colt. I prefer the bulkier slow powders for light .45 Colt loads and would not use a fast powder at all for heavy loads. It will probably work, but you are in unchartered territory.
Winchester .45 Colt data page. No WST
Winchester .45 Colt data page. No WST
Speer 13th Edition Manual also had no data for WST in .45 Colt. Since the .45 Colt has a much larger case capacity than the .45acp, you can probably safely use .45acp loads in your .45 Colt. For example, the max load for a 200gr lead bullet in .45acp is 5.1gr WST. The max load for 230gr lead round nose in .45acp is 4.5gr. WST.
