WHAT METHOD TO TRIM BRASS 45-70 to 45-60?

[BetaSX]

I have 45-70 brass and a trimmer but what’s the best way to trim 0.217” off ? I also have a trim die. What saw is good for this ? Or do you recommend another method ?

Trim die and a fine toothed hack saw.

It’s what I do when making 45-70 from 45 basic (3”) brass.

I use a band saw when making 300BO from 556.

Or I have a WFT with a straight bushing that I can set the depth on the drill press and do the same.
