Good Evening,

While reading an article about a .45 Luger Carbine on the other board, I came across mention of the early production of a .45 cartridge by the Frankford Arsenal that was " 1mm" longer - the .45 F.A. 4-06. It seems that of the 10,000 or so rounds produced, about half ended up in Germany and about half of those are unaccounted for.

So, there seems to be some basis for the existence of a longer .45 auto cartridge.
