not a complete newb to bp but still pretty green. also my first post!
considering an uberti .44 walker. have always wanted one and the guys in the thr walker club have my boiling jealous. it has always been my favorite pistol and would buy one for sentimental value if nothing else.
ive read reviews saying that people use .451, .454, and .457 balls for it. i have a 1858 remington that shoots .454 so i will probably stick with those for money and confusion sake.
what kind of loads would you use for general target. i know it will take 50-60 grains but if you dont want to burn your whole can of powder in one day how much would you normally use? also what load or what fixes work for keeping the loading lever up? ive heard rawhide straps, rubber bands, tape, decreasing the powder load, but what really works? also what size cap fits best. any help or suggestions would be great
thanks guys
