Most factory loaded .45 Colt by Winchester, Remington etc. is 255 gr. RNHB to best of my knowledge. They always shoot good in what I've tried. Your .457 sure bumped up, that is certain. The soft alloy and fast powder did the trick. No reason it won't be very accurate.
Isn't BP good at bumping up soft alloy bullets?

So the .457 is simply hollow base, not heeled?
