In cap n' ball configuration I would not shoot 50 -60 grains of powder too often, if ever.   Italian steel is pretty soft and the wedge slot will stretch, causing your barrel to walk forward upon firing.  Then you need to weld up the back side of the wedge and file to refit.  40 grains of FFF is plenty exciting.

Thanks, .44
        I don't intend to shoot 50-60 grs. of black powder through the Walker. As I stated in one of my other posts on a different thread I'm not a wart hog. And I intend to shoot cartriges that's why I want a conversion cylinder. To the best of my knowledge, a long Colt brass will hold around 34 grs of the Holy Black in FFFG, I think that should be enough to get a 200gr. bullet downrange far enough to clang a target but I really will have to experament to find out which load/bullet the Walker likes.
