By shootin loose..Well all BP guns of the Colt type will shoot loose.. just keep the screws tightened. Quite often a lot of the originals had buggered screws just for that reason..tightening them. What you need to worry about on brass framed revolvers is stretching the frame with too heavy loads...But most will only hold only so much in the cylinders anyway. Just don't pack a cylinder down in the larger calibers with 4F..it's an ok powder in the 31 cals etc...maybe even in the 36..but not in the 44s. It do burn pretty quick..Brass frames are much cheaper to cast and machine than steel. That is why you see so many of them from foreign makers..especially in the past. And they were..well... prettier till ya shot 'em and hadda clean 'em. those ol cap and ball guns are fun..Try to find one with an extra cylinder..and you can find some cylinders for center fire conversions
