My dad has one of those in a sporter stock. Getting a scope put on was a pain in the rear. The gun does shoot well for an old military rifle though. You will have a nice rifle when you get done.
No I love lee dies. I think you have mistook what I am saying. Lee dies are not bad at all but you cannot compare the consistency of match dies to the lee. The key to accuracy is doing the same thing to each round. I am sorry but match dies are more capable of that than are the lee that is not...
I have probably 20ish AR15 mags, about 10 ak47 mags, 9 ar10 mags, 6 G22 mags, 5 g17 mags, 3 mags for my howa 308, 6 or so 10-22 bx25, 3 sccy 9mm mags, probably some more that I can't remember. Almost forgot 20ish 1911 mags.

If you are only shooting 100 yards then the lee dies will serve you well. The RCBS tend to need readjustment while using. Also if you do not adjust them properly the depriming rod and mouth sizer can be cocked to one side and can pull the case mouth uneven. For the beginner lee dies are the way...
I like PSA's website. I think the clearance and daily deal tab is very cleaver. I always click on it. Bass pro and Cabelas also have the same clearance tab/bargin cave
There is nothing wrong with a forty. You do your job it will do its job. It's still a pistol round and will always be anemic compared to a rifle or shotgun, just like all other pistol rounds that don't have magnum after their caliber designation. If you want more power just carry a shotgun or...
