    Just to add to above. Didn't go so well when I was younger. For many reasons but mainly not being able to put in the time. BUT, I reckon slowing down has help a LOT.

    IMO this is better than the Lee classic loader. A set of Lee RGB dies will be fine. But again really need scales. Stay away from cheap electronic scales. Beams are much better.

    Your best bet is Vic. Get a FAL, not difficult. Get a deer game lic. You just but online. Borrow a rifle
