Bullet length and shape have a lot to do with it. If the shorter .45, .44 or .38 won't feed with lead SWC bullets, try either a rounded nose bullet (Cowboy Action bullets are specifically designed to feed) or a jacketed bullet.

Cowboy Action bullets are usually called RNFP, for round nose flat point. Unfortunately, they're also often on the light side to minimize recoil in that timed game. But if you can find heavier ones, they should work fine - or at least much better than a sharp-shouldered SWC.
