Being new to BP revolvers, I wanted to know why so many shooters shy away from brass framed revolvers. I know that they are not as strong but if you don't jam as much BP as the cylinders will hold, will they hold up? I saw where Sportsman's Guide has a brass framed 58 Rem in either .44 or .36 for $130 and Cabela's has a brass framed 51 Navy in .44 for $125 - which would be better? Yes, I know that a steel framed BP revolver is best, but with limited resources ( $$$$$$$).....................
I think that if I limit the powder to 20 grs in 36 cal or 25 in 44 cal the brass framed revolvers would hold up to just limited shooting.
Your opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
