I doubt you had access to the skilled mentorship, either - but perhaps you had that, I
really have no idea.
Trevor is a lucky young man to have a grandfather who is a skilled reloader and great shot,
and who has SO MANY wonderful, often unusual guns available for him to enjoy.
Like th old saying of a "Kid in a candy store"??
Nope better, "Kid in a GUN store!"

I had my .22 Marlin bolt action rifle in the 9th grade, then a .22 Ruger standard auto in the 10th,
and my father gave me about an hour's instruction on each, and that was it. Go buy yourself
some ammo and practice. He gave me a good basic foundation, and I still credit him with
explaining a proper trigger pull, and still teach my students that way, too. But he had one dbl
barrel shotgun, one sorta sporterized Mauser 98 rebarreled in .30-06 and a K-38. Each a good
solid/wonderful gun, but not lots and nothing rare or unusual - maybe the K-38 which he had used
for bullseye competition years before. He had swaged his own bullets and loaded his ammo
for Bullseye competition, but all that gear was long gone when I was a teen.
