A chamber that only accepts a .425-.427" and has a bore groove of .429-.431"+. It just won't work well regardless who says it will.

I believe that's why Winchester/Miroku put a barrel groove right in the middle.

It also has very deep rifling. I commonly use Matt's Wadcutter Bullets. They would not chamber in this gun. The bore riding nose would engage the rifle. It works fine in all my other 44s. Certainly not an issue, the deep rifling should help grab the undersized bullets.

Apparently Winchester has it together, or Miroku... - Huey, 2020-08-21, 08:54
