A Hero Point option is one way around that. Otherwise the setting really isn't playable. You will simply end up loosing too many PCs.

I think BRP is not the right system for a Western game if you play it out of the box. At least not if this western game should be along the lines of some unrealistic genre movies. For such games I would suggest to double hitpoints for PCs. Should improve their survival rate. (not that I would be ever interested to play in such a heresy
)
