I've been using the Redding dies and 155 Noslers in PRVI brass.

I hope your job situation turns around.
I wouldn't rush that project. I am no expert but I'll throw my $0.02 in. The barrel is not original so without rebarrelling you'll never get quite back to...

It's a sickness! 8 M1's, 2 1903's, 2...
High gang!
Newjack here! I got into the oldies a couple years ago with the CMP M1's. Since then I've picked up a 1903, 03A3, and just recently a RC K98k from JP Suhl made in 1939. Don't flame...
