yes, it is a pressure issue. will it chamber? yes will it fire? yes will it blow up in your face? probably.... just don't do it.

That is all the information I need! Thanks fellers!
I beleive the answer is no for several reasons. First, a .45 Colt round shouldn't even chamber, though maybe in some older guns it will. The nominal bore of a .410 shotgun is, well, .410". This is much less than 0.452" of the LC bullet.
So, you may be able to chamber a .45 round in a .410 shotgun and, assuming the lead is soft enough, the powder charge is low enough, and the barrel is strong enough with little to no choke, you may not blow the gun up.

And the opposite should hold true, because and .454 cylinder wouldn't be long enough for a .410 shell?

I know someone who tried it in a break action he said the shell looked like it would fit but it would not close. I would say it has to be marked for both too work.
