An old wives tale. Cast can work fine in a Micro-groove, but not your run of the mill, undersized "hardcast" crap. You need to fit the bullet to the particular gun used. It's not hard at all if you're a reloader.
As far as factory ammo, if it says it's 44 Mag ammo it will work in your rifle. So will 44 Special ammo although it may not feed well, depends on the rifle and particular ammo used. I use a the same 44 Special loads in my Charter BullDog, Smith 24 and Rossi Puma, all home cast bullets and handloaded ammo. Cheap, fun, doesn't kick the snot out of you. I also have far hotter loads for the Smith and Rossi.
Why people don't handload and cast their own is beyond me.
