Anyone got any ?
If not, any forming instructions.......have no print on the cartridge, helping out a bud with a replica '76.
BACO is out of stock, I guess.
thank you,

Wouldn't a trimmed 4570 case work?
45 2.1
Knowledge without understanding is a dangerous thing. For a little knowledge entices us to walk its path, a bit more provides the foundation on which we take our stand, and a sufficient amount can erect a wall of knowledge around us, trapping us in our own ignorance.
Never sleep, never die
Knowledge is easy to get, but worthless if you never use it. However the info is free, so the only person you have to blame is yourself if you chose not to use the information.
Here is a great article on the 1876 andit has a section onloading the 45-60 cartridge including forming

The ease of forming will depend on the head space on your particular rifle. And, yes, they vary from rifle to rifle even in the same brand. Some have a tighter head space and will require thinning of the rims. Others will work with 45-70 rims unaltered. Mine (Uberti) had a head space of .060" (would just barely close) so I trimmed the cases to .058". If you don't have to trim, forming is a breeze. If you do have to trim, it is a pain in the rear.
I make my 45-60's from both R-P and Winchester brass by cutting the case on a little chop saw to near proper length, then finish trimming with the Forster case trimmer to 1.89". BTW the cases load very nicely with minimal neck sizing in a Lyman 310 tool 45-70 set. I use .452" diameter bullets. Check some of the cowboy forums as some of the initial "76s" brought in apparently had rim dimension problems but I hesitate to name the culprits at this point. I shoot a Uberti highwall initially made in 45 Colt, just rechambered to 45-60. BvT
Every lawbreaker we allow into our nation, or tolerate in our citizen population leads to the further escalation of law breaking of all kinds and acceptance of evil.
Since almost all aspects of our cultural existence are LIBERAL in most states, this means that the nation is on a trajectory to dissolution by the burden of toleration and acceptance of LAWBREAKING as a norm, a trajectory back to the dark ages of history.
