It was invented by the Russians, but it's a rimmed case, hence the R.
nother fun fact. This 1872 round was originally called the .45 Colt. It wasn't called Long Colt until 1904 when the .45 Auto Colt Pistol was made. It was an attempt to limit confusion between the two. Thus the the proper name is Colt, not Long Colt. Of course the reason we all know the .45 ACP is from the 1911 pistol. It's called the 1911 because that's the year the U.S. army adopted it as its standard side arm. The 1911 is based on earlier designs that date to 1890.

never used it, because its usually too expensive even when supplies are plentiful. I've only heard good things about their stuff though, and I do buy their brass for one caliber.
