I'm leaning towards Hornady's LocknLoad single stage kit for $300; also considered rcbs.
Definitely go with the Hornady. And 500 free bullets won't hurt either.

My Mauser liked 140Gr sp's
Many European rifles in this caliber are given really tight twists to stabilize the 160 gr bullets loaded in miitary ammo. Those rifles generally shoot well with heavy for caliber bullets.

But knowing the what I call "speed" of the rifling will help your start in this.
That "speed" you refer to is called the rate of twist, twist rate, or simply twist. You can measure your current twist and specify a barrel with that rate of twist when you have it rebarreled.
