Vermonter wanted real power.
Nothing wrong with the Remington Army. The Ruger Old Army may hold more powder, don't know how much, and... Ruger makes quality guns.
But real power will be indeed be delivered by the Colt Walker which is the biggest of them all, not too expensive, and takes something like a 60-65 grain BP load . But it is a large heavy gun, almost double the weight of a Remington. In a Colt Dragoon I can get 53 grain. A Remington may have a better frame design than these Colt's and weigh less but does not come close to these BP loads. For the Remington maybe 35 grain or even 40 grain max?
