1847 Walker Replicas?

[bdft]

I shoot .454 in my ASM Walker. Shoots just fine.

i'd be kind of intrested in one but what are you guys using for balls?- the one i saw years ago in dixie gun works was a 470 bore, and that's not a common ( read cast your own) bore size- i use a 452 SWC IN MY OLD ARMY

Very intersting, that must be what mine is. I though it had been rebored. I could not get any information on the gun because it was part of an estate sale. Luckily it came with a custom .476" conical mold from LBT. With the conicals it is a very accurate pistol. The only charge I shoot out of it is 55 grs of Goex 3F.

Just look at the avatar pic!

451 seem to shear just right in mine, have not tried any of my conicals

Got mine in the mail last week, now what? I'll admit I know nothing about these: what powder, bullet, etc. Also, I knew these were big, but c'mon! My elbow starts shaking just lifting the thing. I thought my old s&w .455 was a big pistol. Maybe these were made for big guys, I'm only 6'-4"/220 lbs.

They were meant to be carried and fired from horseback

Which must make them quite a bit a handful, trying to lift the loading arm which will fall down between shots and jam the cylinder LOL. Colt figured out a latch was a good idea for their next revolver
