.36 Walker Custom

[brushhippie]

This is a Walker sleeved down to .36..in this video we shot some 140 grain swc conicals sent by my old buddy Tony..they did ok...I think they got damaged during loading considering we pounded them in there..lol still not too bad for speed our fastest being 1184 with 40 grains of swiss...Roundball test to follow...(we got upwards of 1600 with those)

Very interesting gun! A lot of metal for a little .36, but unique for sure!

Hey Hippster!!! Nice video!! (Thanks for the plug! Appreciate ya Bud!!!)
I was hoping it would be a .357M in B.P. form!! Hmmmmm . . . . (I'm thinkin a cylinder "re-sleave" is in order. Maybe only half way down? Get that 50 grs. !!)

That is exactly what we thought...but...with a roundball...we are kinda past the curve already...got faster speeds with less powder. Good ta see ya gettin round brother...gimme a call!

Here is part two..the round ball test...we got a top speed of 1588..pretty good for a .36! We will find out just what too much really is next time!

What's your goal?

The same as Railroad Bill's .38 Special on a .45 frame.

We are testing that this next weekend..I am betting accuracy will go bye bye after 35 grains of powder.
