Just wondering the process that you all use to develop a load (specifically a bullet) for your rifles. Do you guys really go out and buy boxes of 50 bullets in each weight that you think could work for your caliber and shoot a few through in order to find which weight/bullet type works? I know that this could easily be mitigated if I had a couple of reloading buddies to split bullet boxes with, but it seems like there would be somebody on the great interweb that would be selling a "variety pack" of different bullet types for different calibers. Or maybe it somehow takes 50 bullets to see if a certain bullet works in your gun (doubtful)?
I realize that reloading doesn't necessarily save money, which I'm fine with. I also realize that there is more to working up a load than just the bullet. But it seems that this would be by far the most expensive part of load development, with a chance of ending up with a bunch of spare bullets that shoot like crap in my gun.
Thoughts? Solutions?
