This video addresses the common concern of brass frame revolvers 'stretching' over time. Instructor Dustin explains that while the brass frame itself doesn't truly stretch, recoil can cause the cylinder to slam back, leading to wear on the frame and arbor. This wear can create excess play, resulting in the appearance of a loose or 'stretched' frame and potential headspace issues, especially with hotter loads. He recommends using lighter loads, especially in larger calibers like .44, and notes that modern reproductions may use stronger alloys.
