.451 diameter bullet OK for 45 ACP in a Colt Defender?

[Oathkeeper1775]

I bought a box of Hornady .451 diameter HPs and my Lee book calls for .452 diameter.

Does anyone (who has used this diameter as a 45 ACP) care to chime in?

Thanks

.451 is the correct size diameter for jacketed bullets in the 45 ACP, and I believe .452 would be the correct size for lead bullets in the 45 ACP.
