Ideal .41 Colt Handtool?

[Rube Burrows]

Anyone know if Ideal or anyone else made one of the handloading tools for .41 Colt?

[Black River Smith]

Yes, they did.  The Ideal tool I have produces the 196 grain heeled bullet like the newer Lyman 386177.  The chamber is made to insert this bullet into the 0.93 COL length - 41 Colt brass.  It also has the priming tab and hole.  This one is pitted and I cannot read the complete id, but it shows 41 CO.  I believe it would have been marked '41 COL' for '41 Colt Outside Lubed'.

Bullet diameter measures 0.404" in center and 0.406" at mold seams.  I size it to 0.402" for 38/40 barrel with smokeless.  Very little deformity at seam area.

Thanks. I have been looking to see if I could find one but haven't ran across one yet and wasn't sure if they made any.
