My Cabela's Pietta reproduction steel framed 1858 Remington has been with me for only a couple years but has yet to expose a flaw. I've rather enjoyed the 1000 or so Hornady .454 swagged round ball I've put through it. After learning early on of Windex with ammonia D, I haven't had a lick of trouble with binding cylinders.

Though I've only used Pyrodex Pistol (usually 25gr), I look forward to trying black powder.
