Greetings everyone!
I just purchased an Authentic Black Powder Series Colt Walker, made between 1980-1982. Some of you folks might have recently seen it via "GunAuction." I initially went to GunAuction to see if I could beat Cabela's sales price for a cheaper Uberti Walker, which was there, but. Wouldn't you know... there was also a real Colt being auctioned too. Sorry if I stepped on any toes while bidding. Uberti vs. Colt? Full blown Italian vs semi-Italian with Colt supervision and QC? "I had to move on the Colt!" Maybe I should have bought them both!
I'm not sure if I want to actually shoot the Colt. Might still buy an Uberti for shooting, however. Should I desire to fire the Colt... what would you folks suggest as a max powder load that will be safe enough to be accurate and fun while 'not' stressing the frame, nor tending to pull on the cylinder pin? I want to keep the Colt made revolver 4-0. I'll save the fun, crowd stopping 60 grain loads for the experimental Uberti...
