I dont know how the throats ran in those from that period, but being one of their top target pistols, Id guess they are pretty decent. ive had a couple in the distant past, they shot extremely well, as have all I knew of from others.
In my case, it would also be a way to use some of my 45 auto ammo without having to shoot an auto pistol. I think i still have half moon and full moon clips for that model.

It can be a problem. Out of my 2" converted Colt 1917, standard 230 grain FMJ has a tendency to keyhole. 200 grain does fine. I generally don't shoot unjacketed bullets but presumably matching the bullet to the throat size would help. Hollow base bullets also seem to help.
