Apart from the .357, .44 and the related "supermag" versions, 41 magnum and .445, what other calibers were there?

Someone on another forum was asking if there were some very unusual calibers produced just before DW moved to Norwich from Palmer.

.22, .22Mag, 32H&R Mag, 32-20, .38Special, .357Magnum, 41 Magnum, 44Magnum, 357Supermag, 375 Supermag, 414 Supermag, 445 Supermag, 360 Dan Wesson, 460 Rowland, which will also fire 45ACP and 45Win mag I believe.  There are also a few revolvers that fire 9mm Luger.  I think I got them all covered.

Chris-edited your post to change the second .357 SM to .375 SM broken-computer

Also, .45 Colt?

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

I "need" a 22 mag....  timing just hasn't been right for the last few that hit the blocks.  I've been working on ss and blued calibers produced during the Monson years.  Missing are: 22M, 722M, 732.20, and a 708 or 709. 

Technically, the glass is always full; half liquid, half air....

I thought the 460/7460 was the 'Pin Gun' since it will fire the 45acp with the moon clips.  Was there a distinct 'Pin Gun' apart from this?
