Thank you for the answer I appreciate the opinion and understand the issue. As a more often than not 16/65mm guy I appreciate both the challenges of ammo and the pleasure of shooting something more unique.
Further the rimmed vs. belted rounds are an advantage. On pressure, I have little doubt it is correct that some of the modern cartridges are higher pressure but still within the range of the weapon's capability, though potentially greater wear producing.
I must admit I am predisposed to traditional calibers, however I also am predisposed to not buying anything more for two years while I play with what I already have and prepare to move to a new house, so everything is speculation on my part.
