About
The .41 Long Colt Ammo was designed and developed in 1877 in the United States to be used in Colt's double-action Thunderer. The .41 Long Colt Ammo is lengthened version of the .41 Short Colt Ammo. The bullet was lubricated from the outside, and the base of the bullet was small in diameter so that it could fit inside the casing; these bullets are known as a heeled base or heeled bullet. The .22 Rimfire Ammo is the only heeled bullet in the modern market. In the middle of the 1890s, the .41 Long Colt Ammo was redesigned by reducing the entire diameter of the bullet to 0.386 inches. The brass case was increased in length to allow the bullet and lubrication inside the case. The case length of the .41 Long Colt Ammo is 28.9mm, and the bullet diameter of this cartridge is 9.8mm. The .41 Long Colt Ammo came in three different sizes and loads.
