The problem with the older guns and modern guns made for black powder is not the barrels but the cylinders. They cannot stand the pressures of the "big" rounds.
I thought that the conversion cylinders are made from Ruger quality steel. It's the weakness of how the barrel and arbor is attached to the frame and the weakness of that steel.
