I've used .577 Nitro brass for .50/70 brass by moving the rim forward for headspace reasons in a four or 5 spots around the periphery - and shortening, of course. It worked just fine.
Doesn't 577 Nitro Brass have a much larger base diameter than 50-70?
577 NE Base approx .660".
50-70 Base approx .565"
