Well, I guess that this interesting question never really got an answer so it can be put to rest. Besides, you can not chamber a 45LC in a regular .410 chamber according to my favorite gunsmith. Although the pressures are close 13,500 for the .410 and 14,000 for the 45LC, you would play Hell trying to run a .452 bullet through a .410 choked bore.
The gins are basically designed as a 45LC and chambered for a .410 in a longer cylinder.

You have great day and shoot straight and may the Good Lord smile on you.

Most of the .410's I've seen seem to have relatively thin barrels compared to the "Judge" type .45 LC/.410 combo's. I wouldn't try even a cowboy load in one, even if it fit.
