Ooops...I missed seeing the 44-40.
How about the .405 Winchester instead?

The list is not meant to be exhaustive (although I had intended to include the .405 and just forgot). It was meant to show enough varied rifle calibers to demonstrate by 1935 the bases had been pretty well covered. I'm sorry you missed the point.
I omitted the Ross because its' design was aimed at the British military who were thinking of changing away from their .303 British. Yes, the Ross did later see fairly wide popularity in Africa.

I did not think that was your point in the original post. It read "After all, we would be limited to..." and I just saw that the list was a few calibers short.
It is interesting to think about what we would be shooting the military input on the small arms makers and ammo.
