I have less then a few but more then zero. One .454 Magna Ported Field Grade, sent it back to the factory and they drilled and tapped the firing pin recess, makes the pin replaceable like the new style. ( Dry firing tends to send the tip if the pin out the barrel at a pretty good velocity.)
Shoot it every year at the Elmer Keith Shoot. Favorite load is a .45 Colt case filled with H110 tight to the bottom of a Freedom Arms 260 gr Flat Point or a Hornaday 260 XTP Mag, around 1400 FPS. Easy shooting load, less kick and more power then a .44 Mag. Or for a full blow load as much H110 as I can fit in a Starline .454 Casull Case and the 260 FAFP bullet. Small Magnum Rifle Primer. Fills the cylinder to the point the bullet scrapes a little on the forcing cone. Out the barrel over 2000 fps. NOT an easy shooting load!

PS What is a "few"?
