good write-up enyaw. I've owned 3 brass-frame Piettaq '58 Rem .44's and fired thousands of shot (collectively in all of them) useing a .357 mag caseful of 3F (about 25gr) a felt and rb with no ill effects visible.
I even loaded one I took bear hunting with some old timers that insisted on BP guns only (we didn't get a bear either time I went but came close)
with a 7.62X39 caseful (around 30gr) 3F - this was a warm load for sure.
I fired maybe 100 or so of this load and no strain apparent - wouldn't advise much of this however.
