Der Ami and AkMike1, I accept your corrections. I agree that what many consider unusual is common for those of us who are into old guns and DRs in particular and therefore not odd in our world. I meant no offence
That said, if one is not into reloading and is new to this hobby staying with a more common and therefore more saleable caliber is a good course before one is fully submerged and baptised into our passion.
My read of the original poster is that he is seeking a starting point and not looking to drink the Kool Aid that I have drunk quarts of, with many gallons in my future.
And sharps4590 you are right I would not have the DR I own if it had been in a more saleable caliber, and in fact because it is an uncommon caliber it has lead me down a path of exploration and learning I never planned and I am enjoying (at least so far)
