Sadly Canada appear to be destroying their stock of inglis made hi powers. These would sell in the us easily. Barrels are too short and mags too big for Canada

22lr pistol will allow you to quickly learn to shoot well with cheaper ammo . Build muscle memory for trigger control, sight alignment.
Some gill size pistol have 22lr conversions 1911, glocks that give you a lot of bang for the buck on the same lower of you major caliber.
Hope it helps

Does your rifle have a the volley sights on the left side?
Also check you rear sight if it has a windage adjustment. This would be the earliest mk III configuration. The windage adjustment was was later removed or pinned solid
You can fire form brass to Chamber. The headspace problem goes away for that combination of brass and chamber
I have quite a few enfields so that is not practical for me.
I have had a number necks and body splits on the brass over the years. A few primer leaks but not many
Good used machines exist out there. Do not be phased (pun intended) by 3 phase machines. Often cheaper.
You can make a 3 phase rotary converter with A larger motor 3 phase motor and starting circuit. and feed your whole shop
Yes and don’t forget the ammo.
Couldn’t afford a full case of 7.62x39 Chinese ammo so bought on 720rd can. What shows up is a full case as, ammo was so cheap it was more work to open up the crate and ship half.
Only wish I bought 50k-100k rounds of ammo. I know some machine gunner...
my first enfield no4mk1 was $69. Several others mkiiii and nof4mk2 at $75 each. $59 for m95 Austria Hungarian 8x56r antique.
And $69 for c96 Mauser pistol. $185 for 1917 s&w 45 acp $119 for East German Makarov. That was my early collection days
