These are a little bit of an esoteric area of collecting in the Winchester line as they are a bit of a dead end (the 1905 and 1910 in particular). The 351 WSL has been loded on and off for many years and can still be gotten somewhat reasonably. The 32 and the 401 (which is actually a 406 diameter bullet...go figure) are in the rhealm of cartridge collections and are tres expensive. Even the custom made stuff runs $50 a box. I don't shoot mine, although I am lead to believe I can form it up with a little lathe work from a 30-30 case. Handy, if heavy little take-down guns that were a nice brush/pack gun but failed the bterminal ballistics test.
eddit: I forgot to add... John Henwood wrote the following reference book that contains good information; "THE FORGOTTEN WINCHESTERS A History of the Model 1905, 1907 and 1910 Self-Loading Rifles"
