    Colt walker

    Anyone shoot a Colt Walker. I have just bought one and hoping to shoot it tonight at the club but I don't have any load data. I know they are meant to have 60 gr of Black powder but I'll be using Pyrodex P and would like to down load it a bit.

    When I can't find a useful pal with a couple of pounds of spare FFFg, I shoot mine with 45gr of Pyrodex P.

    Seems about the same as the more usual 50gr of FFFg.

    However, you'll need some experimentation to find that elusive 'sweet spot' of load.

    Thanks for that. Will the 9" barrel make any difference?
