Just don't go crazy with loading them, and keep in mind they will be generally more accurate with LESSER charges than max, and they will last you a LONG time.

My son's CVA brass frame Navy is still going strong. Now we HAVEN'T shot it all that much, recently, especially since he has been away for so long since he left for college, but when we did we generally loaded it with 15 grains of FFFg black powder which we pretty much got by reading recommended loads in a Dixie catalog and it handled them without a bobble, and still would.
