The Walker was, by design, engineered to fire 60 grains of powder under a conical bullet. NOT a 140 grain round ball.
Assuming that the replica cylinders are accurately sized, there's no way you'd get 60 grains under one of the pickets that were supplied with the Walkers. I can't even quite get 60 under a .457 ball, about 58 is the best I can do.
