[QUOTE="Super Dave, post: 2730894, member: 8429"] Congrats! That's my favorite C&B. What Pulp said. I always kept my balls in a ziplock bag with bore butter. No wonder wads, no Crisco. A tight, good fitting ball is what prevents chain fire. The lube is there for just that. Lubing. You don't need much. It helps prevent lead fouling. Lurker66, the Walker was the most powerful revolver until the 357 mag came along. Load one up with conicals, and as much powder as you can get in the cylinder. FYI, strap your loading lever down. It won't stay put. More fun than humans should have. I have blown up two Walkers, but it wasn't from too much powder. 45 Colt conversions. Too much smokeless. Still have the blown up cylinder from the first indecent. Say, that reminds me, Pulp. I have a handmade conversion ring made by Walter Kirst, BEFORE the Kirst Konverter came out, if you need it. You will need a new cylinder. Seems like I have one that I never finished machining. Very Gus. Very cool. I've blown up a lot of stuff, now that I think about it. [/QUOTE]
