I thought I remembered hearing something about a .45 Short Colt too so I pulled out Cartridges of the World. A quick review of that shows only one .45 caliber Colt cartridge, the .45 Colt. Maybe it was omitted for some reason but I doubt it. Possibly the Long designation was to differentiate between .45 Colt and .45 S&W Schofield? Since the Schofield could be loaded in most .45 Colt guns this sounds plausible but I have no idea if that really is the reasoning.
