Headspacing rifle cartridge off the case mouth?

So many pistol cartridges are headspaced off of the case mouth, but are there any reasons that rifle cartridges aren't? I'm thinking of a 45 cal wildcat on a completely necked up 30-06 case ... I already have lots of -06 brass, a 45 cal barrel, a spare action, a 45 cal pistol reamer, and the time ... QuickLoad says that the ballistics will be pretty reasonable with a 300gr XTP-HP Magnum bullet and I was just wondering if anyone knows of any reasons why this might be an exercise in futility ...

TIA,
