My state recently legalized carrying a black powder revolver with your single shot rifle during primitive rifle season. I have a Richland Arms Co. Walker reproduction that I'd like to carry with my rifle but I have no experience with actual black powder, especially not revolvers.
This one seems best suited for .451 lead balls, in spite of the Walker repro's tendency to like .454.
My questions are twofold:
1. Can someone recommend a black powder deer load for the Walker? I was thinking 60gr of black powder but could use some advice.
2. I use Hodgdon 50/50 Pyrodex pellets for my modern muzzle loader rifle and I'm wondering if there is a safe way to use the same thing, or other smokeless propellants for the Walker.
