RE: looking at a bore
I forgot to mention, for hunting ammo, you could buy surplus ball, and spend $40 on a bullet puller, and a Lee hand press for 30-06. Pull the fmj bullets from the ball ammo, and replace them with 150 gr. hunting bullets. At this point, you would have a hand press, and spend another few bucks on a powder scale and you are all set to reload for 30-06 in a pinch.[8D]
