Re: Colt Walkers blowing up, that was a problem with the originals, no problem with the repos.
The max powder charge in Ruger Old Army revolvers is 40 grains, you can't get more in and still seat a .457 ball.
Stay with corn meal as opposed to cream of wheat because it is compressable and more foregiving of errors if you put a little too much in.
The 20 grain load plus corn meal will give the best accuracy in the Ruger, a 25 grain load is almost as good. A good general purpose load is 28 grains of 3f plus a Wonder Wad. Easy to load and accurate enough for most shooting.
