Walkers are fun to shoot, but looking at this from a practical, common-sense stance: if you shoot only 45 grains from a Walker, you may as well just shoot a Remington 1858, my Rem 58 cylinder holds 42.6 grains
one time I actually filled each cylinder of the Rem '58 to the top, packed the powder down with the rammer, then topped each charge off with loose powder again, then put the balls over that and packed it in- so that would be at least 45 grains or more
the only reason I could see for carrying around/shooting the somewhat heavy Walker, would be for the advantage of the 60+ grains of powder capacity, and the higher velocity
