Does anyone know if companies ever sell smaller lots of bullets gor testing load development? Powder is scarce and bullets are pricey. Just wondering if it is a possibility
 
Some do, but usually 50 for monos and 100 for jacketed is the minimum. And honestly that’s a reasonable amount for load development in my mind anyway, but your process may differ.
 
Hammer Bullets will sell you a 15pk if you’re willing to choke down the high per-bullet cost. $25-30 without shipping.

I don’t think this is the answer for you, though. Can’t recall if others do something similar, I know I’ve seen it elsewhere but can’t recall where.
 
I can normally see in 30 or 40 if they will shoot decent. I normally would buy 100, but I got a hunt this year and I am not having success finding H1000, RL26 or Retumbo for load development. Figured I might try a different approach and see where it goes.

They should sell brass lots of 105. One for modified brass and a couple to sacrifice to the AMP annealer with a couple left for the few you end up losing at a match.

I know, an OCD problem.

You're only losing a couple per match? Teach me your ways
