It’s probably ok in that role if you handload with
faster burning pistol propellants. Then the main
annoyance is that tapered case which has to be
lubricated for resizing.

I lubricate all cases. I bought Dillon’s spray lube. When the cases come out of the brass polisher, I lay them down on a disposable oven drip pan and spray once or twice. I’ve had the same spray bottle for years.

The pan also allows me to do another inspection since it’s easier once the cases are clean. Cracks and dents show up easier.

I’ve got a couple of old 7 1/2” 3 screw Blackhawks. One has never been fired and the other rides in the truck with me every time I’m on the ranch. It’s taken allot of hog’s and coyotes. I bought 1000 rds of ball ammo several years ago and have worked up some interesting loads. Some 100 grain cast’s and some 60 grain swedged down 32 caliber rounds that I’ve chronographed at 2050 fps from a 7 1/2 inch barrel. Thats some serious coyote medicine.
