Anyone know anything about them? Are they basically the same as a 45-70, just with less powder? A friend of ours gave us a whole bunch of old ammo, and there is one box of 45-60. There is also a box of .219 Zipper, which looks pretty cool.
Yes. And the case is cut off too,so the powder charge of 60 grains is as much as it will hold along with the bullet.

The reason for shortening it was so it would workin the M1876 Win. action......
