Cleanup is much easier with a stainless revolver, as it won't rust nearly as quickly as a blued gun.

Stainless will still rust, it just takes longer, and is not nearly as severe.

You should use a firm crimp, but nothing excessive. A firm crimp promotes good ignition of the powder, and a little better burning.

If you do do this, you probably want to use bullets that have been lubed with Alox. You need a pretty soft bullet lube in order to keep the powder fouling nice and soft, which means better accuracy.
