For the guy that loads different pressure levels across a single caliber can be a real issue. I experienced the same thing in rifle. I have an original (1880) Springfield Trapdoor carbine, a Winchester 1886 (1910), and used to have a Marlin 1895.
For the Trapdoor I loaded all cast bullets at low pressure in brass cases. In the Winchester I loaded brass cases with jacketed bullets. And or the Marlin, I used nickle plated cases and jacketed bullets.
Allowed me to readily identify loaded ammo.
I know that Starline makes nickle plated brass for the 45 LC.

4227 is easy on older guns, reportedly preferred by Hank Williams, Jr., a big time Colt collector and shooter.
It works very well in my 24" Marlin Cowboy .45 Colt with 300 gr. bullets, both jacketed and cast. Evidently 4227 has a smooth pressure curve, not a sharp peak.
Now, just for target loads, Red Dot is hard to beat, very accurate and consistent.
DF I think you have to shoot 4227 to really appreciate how “soft” it feels.
