As some suggest using cut-down 45-70 brass in the 40-60 wcf, yes it can be done . Just remember the rim thickness of the 45-70 case runs about .070 in . with a rim Dia. of .608 The 40-60 wcf rim thickness is about .059 and the rim is about .628 just a tad thinner and…
…a tad wider ! These cartridges headspace on the rim , if your bolt will close ? on the standard 45-70 rim without thinning it down to spec . then your rifle has out of spec. headspace .

…-60 WCF cartridges for an 1876 rifle using an original 1880 tool and bullets from an original 1878 iron mold. I used resized and trimmed W-W .45-70 brass. I find that the W-W brass has thinner neck walls than Federal or Starline so it is easier to seat bullets. Winchester Large Rifle Magnum
