    Mine is very accurate with my handloads using RP brass and the heeled 150gr bullets and Lee FCD from Old West. This is 12 rounds at 15 yards.

    If my bore is .364, I would still need hollowbase bullets in my 1901. If I recall, .358 bullets fell through the barrel.

    Hollow base bullets will also fall through the bore if it is like mine and .375" diameter. If that is the case you will need the bullets :https://oldwestbulletmoulds.com/shop...n-heel-bullets
