we built several Vaqueros in the 41 Long Colt caliber. I loaded them with 197 grain hollow base. At least all it says on the box. I found the bullets but are still looking for the brass. The tag on the box says they're .196, at least it looks like that is what it says on the box, I will pass along photos etc when I find them.

I have been blessed with some nice sixguns. - Jim Taylor, 2026-03-06, 11:38
- I too have tumbled down that .41 Colt rabbit hole - WB, 2026-03-07, 16:30
  - I think a hollow base heel bullet would be best. - Jim Taylor, 2026-03-07, 16:54
- Excellent choice! I understand the “too tight”! (nm) - SPB, 2026-03-06, 11:41
  - Did`ent Billy the Kid use a 41 Long Colt?? (nm) - james, 2026-03-07, 14:50

        Here is the box of 41 Long Colt bullets - Gary Reeder, 2026-03-07, 21:19
        Yes .. that is the Lyman bullet #386178 - Jim Taylor, 2026-03-07, 22:20
        I think that would work better then the .38 (nm) - james, 2026-03-07, 22:00
