The 230xtp is designed for the ACP thus will work at ACP velocities, but may not shoot well in you 45 colt. The 230xtp bullet is .451 dia. and the xtp's (and most 45 colt bullets) are .452-.454 dia. You'll just have to experiment an see.

Or.... PM someone, like wvhittman, that had more data on more bullets performance in field conditions than most bullet manufactures.
