I only owned one gun about 50 years ago and it was a simple shotgun. But it is a fascinating realm none the less. I can understand the hobby of collecting guns and some are quite fascinating and pleasing to admire. I hate to admit it but as we progress toward more government tyranny (no matter who is running the sinking ship) they might become more practical and necessary.
Go for the reloading. Tailored ammo for your long range stuff will improve accuracy quite a bit. Progressive presses are a pain in the ass. I run two single stage, works out better. Gas check maker for your thumper, and anything else you want to shoot fast lead out of (over 800).. bullets and primers are the worst, unless you cast. At this point I buy primers, primers, primers. Good luck
I really think you should buy both new models, then do detailed reviews featuring accuracy, recoil, power etc. Perhaps you could parlay that into a sponsorship or two of some sort? Win/win!
Smith came out with a 22 mag a year or so back that looks like it would be a hell of a target pistol. Has the Tempo barrel system (originally used on their 5.7), and alleged to be deadly accurate.
I’m not that big a .22 mag fan . . . ammo costs as much as 9mm, plus it’s loud . And really, out of a pistol , 22 mag velocity isn't all that much greater than decent 22lr. But I’m having a hard time not forking out cash on a pistol that holds 30 rounds, and by virtually all reviews, rarely has failure to feed
Then again . . . I’m also lusting after a Marlin 45/70 . . . which I guess proves that I celebrate diversity

I'm Scottish so not allowed a gun but if I was in the States I would be like you,they're beautiful.
Thanks 👍

That itch is real. Then the gear to go with it. It’s why I haven’t gotten tattoos in awhile.
Great collection. They're all up there with leather gear and https://charlesmarionrussell.org/ and wood smoke.
But in the grand globalist utopia, maybe 3D printers and reloading presses are the new mystique.
