Sure, but if you walk up to the counter at Walmart and ask if they have .45, chances are good the clerk is going to hand you a box of .45 ACP.
For your Ruger Blackhawk .45 long Colt. Of course with the extra cylinder yer good to go.

Of course with the extra cylinder yer good to go Part of my point I was making about regular usage. . . but it goes all the way back to the usage in the US Army Cavalry in the 1870s through 1890s. It is NOT unacceptable usage at all. I have seen GUNS with that designated caliber on them, and as I told Buffalo, I have, somewhere around here, a period box of .45 Long Colt made by Colt (I don't think I sold it).

He will not. He will hand you a box of .45 Auto. The ACP designations were obsoleted prior to WWII. Where have you been? It's the head stamp stupid!
