Northernshooterssupplies.com.
Note that their prices are in Australian dollars; about 3-2 US$. My experience with them has always been excellent.

You are aware that 45-60 brass is merely shortened 45-70? If you don't want to cut down your brass, check out seller LGM on Gunbroker. Otherwise Northern Shooters Supply is your huckleberry.
Good luck.

There is an actual difference in the cases. Rifles originally chambered may differ in the rim thickness. I have a Whitney and a Rupertus both chambered in this caliber, the rim thickness on each is .050" vs the 45-70 @ .065". Another I chambered in a roller was cut not knowing any better - is made for the thicker rims. I have both cases and they're not interchangeable.

**** I went and double checked the original 45-60 brass I have - a correction - the rim thickness on these is .055" rather than .050". It's still thinner than basic 45 rims. In some of my cases I did skin the case so the headstamp went away - mostly - and deepen the primer pocket slightly- although it makes for a smooth transition to large pistol primers.
