Jim and I had a lot of discussion on the 44's. I do think he was on his way to making that new one of his the rifle to beat.
I've just not seen anything for results from anyone with a "paper patch" chamber that convinces me it's the way to go.
Tight tolerance grease groove chambers such a Shiloh's and some of the custom ones out there shoot patched very well, but still allow for the use of a grease groove. I'm of the mind that most folks try to match grease groove bullet weight when shooting patched and forget that a bullet patched to bore or just under with the same weight as the grease groove bullet they're used to are getting a bullet that may be just a tad long for the twist.
