.36 caliber revolvers are normally around 15-22gr. of FFFG by Volume.
.44 caliber revolvers like the 1860 Army, 22-35gr. of FFFG by Volume.
.44 caliber revolvers like the Dragoon, 30-50gr. of FFFG by Volume.
.44 caliber revolvers like the Walker, 35-60gr. of FFFG by Volume.

Now just remember that the charge has to be compressed to be safe & effective that is why the variance in charge weights for the given weapons but the lighter charge will be safe in the weapons noted, just need range time to determine which charge works best in your particular weapon.
