That self-contradictory title ought to get some attention, but it's sincere.
I'm a hobbyist shooting a Sako 6PPC-USA for accuracy at 100-200y. I've been buying bullets by the 100 box and paying $35/box for the better ones. Looking at the various custom maker bullets (Bib, Bart's, Hottenstein, Meyer), the cost per bullet is reasonable but at 500 or 1000pc boxes, not very practical for experimentation.
Do you really buy 500pcs and set aside 450 if they're not a good match for your rifle? Even with foulers and fireforming there would still be many bullets unused.
