How would I make my snowball like ranged item have durability?

I've made a projectile, and attached that to an item with ranged properties. It's basically like a snowball, but when it hits anything, it returns (teleports) back to your hand.

Now, is it possible to make this item lose durability every time it returns to me? Obviously just lowering the durability is easy, but how would I save it's durability for the next time it'll be shot and return? Is there a way to save that?
