Cartridge History
The .45-60 Winchester is a shortened large-bore cartridge associated with the Winchester Model 1876. It gave Model 1876 owners a cartridge below the .45-75 in nominal powder capacity while retaining the same broad rifle family.
Rifles Commonly Chambered
- Winchester Model 1876 rifles originally produced in this chambering
- Modern reproductions or custom rifles only when specifically marked for .45-60 Winchester
Compatibility warning: Winchester produced multiple cartridges with similar names and many rifles have been altered during their service lives. Verify the exact chamber marking or chamber dimensions before ordering components.
Legacy
Today, .45-60 brass is primarily sought by owners of original Model 1876 rifles and modern reproductions built for the cartridge.
Did You Know?
The second number in .45-60 refers to a nominal 60-grain black-powder charge under the period naming convention. It is not a recommended load.
