Yes, I have used them in an R&S conversion cyl and in a pair of Uberti Schofields.

What are you intending to use them for? For any volume shooting, their relatively heavy weight and very light lubing are diminishing factors. It's a good design and they perform well in my revolvers over 30 grs of 3F, but I stopped using them for CAS fairly quickly due to cost, weight, and insufficient lube. For lower volume target shooting they are a good bullet and were you envisioning black powder loads in a self defense role, they are certainly a good choice.

If you are going to use them in high volume, a good dab of black powder lube under the base and a waxed card wad over powder will address the lubing issue.
