Default 45 GAP

I just picked up 7-50rd boxes of Winchester 185 gr JHP Silvertip. OK stupid question. Can I shoot his in my 625?
Kinda like a 38 in a 357.
TIA

Let me know if you want to seel the brass. I'm giving some thought about this caliber and brass is not easy to come by in many places.

How tight is the fit of the Winchester brass in the moonclips? In my experience Speer is way too loose for any kind of speedloads. I was just given some Cor-Bon 160 gr. DPX which is loaded in Starline brass and the fit is much better, so much better that I'm tempted to actually carry it. But I never had a chance to try Winchester.
