Sarg:
Should be easy enough to load for, we all do it for our Martini-Henrys. Bertram makes the cases, Lee dies are $150 (or were when I bought mine!) and I would suggest looking up the "Express" load that was favored for sporting purposes in the day, and for which the Walker was probably sighted.
I saved this info from an old post by pwm:

Quote:

in the 1936 Kynoch catalog: 90 grains black, 325 grain lead copper-tubed gives 1600 feet per sec.
44 grains cordite, 365 grain metal-based solid or copper-tubed gives 1425 feet per sec.

The ADI Handbook online is happy to recommend 37gr AR2207 under a 400gr lead bullet for 1300fps, so a few more grains of powder and a few less grains of lead should work out fine!
