it will be fun! Keep us all informed. I found atuff all over the place. Raven Rock for brass and a few bullets, midsouth for bullets, reloading die set. I bought a Lee crimp die, but make sure your press can handle a larger threads. Redding and rcbs presses have a bushing in some models.

those look like premium bullets to me , not plinkers, try some 350 gr Speer hot core for around $32 a box, much cheaper, it's what I use for plinking in my 416 Rem

Hey for a first go. Thats pretty good.
Not sure hownyou have it put together.
But if you wanted to straighten that up use it as a pattern just make special attention to laying out the holes.
But looks good
