Sounds like the perfect solution! ;-)

Good points. Just as an FYI, they do make special ammo just for
an "original" (or partly original such as one from the CMP), which
is slightly less "hot" than current commercial .30-06 ammo. I
don't think there are any safety issues with an older one if you
are careful to use that type of ammo.
