Contemporaries not on the list

Some I load (when I get a chance to get up north and do so) that were around then but not on that list are:

444 Marlin (Designed in 1964, so too new for the manual)
45 Colt
44 Special
38 Special
357 Magnum (although I don't own one)
35 Whelen (Wildcat at that point, so not on the list)
7.62X39 (an odd caliber showing up in Vietnam, but not yet really on the street in the US of A)

The only "modern" cartridges I load for are variations of old timers (32 H&R and 327 Federal - both extended versions of the 32 S&W and 32 SWL).

Most of the modern stuff just doesn't seem interesting, mostly because it tends to be offered in uninteresting alloy/composite platforms instead of blued steel and walnut like God intended.
