Hi all,
I am new here and even though I read most of the rules  , I am not sure if I am allowed to post a link.
This is a place where you can buy small quantities of bullets to try. They offer a good variety of brands, calibers, and weights.
I have not tried them yet, but was wondering if anyone has and what they thought of the place.
Thanks, Guy

I'm trying to figure out what 5 bullets are going to tell you in terms of how a particular rifle shoots them

Didn't meistro_Jerry post about this place? I had the same question,"what good is five bullet's"? Jerry wrote back that you could buy the bullet's in any increment you wanted but didn't have to buy a whole box at a time. I use cup and core bullet's and they are not that expensive but, if I wanted to give some of those $1+ bullet's a try, 30 left over is $30+ dollar's down the drain. Sounds like it's a good deal to me.

I have had a few times that no where near 100 bullets told me that I didn't to shoot any more of them.
One case being loading down on my 44 Red Hawk. The wrists and elbows can't take heavy loads any more.
And even $20 a box I can't afford to throw them away or just let them sit on the shelf . As for the number "5", I simply picked that number. Meaning you could buy any qty. less than a full box.
As for Jerry posting this, I apologize for the re-post. I have done a lot of looking here since I joined a little over a month ago and missed it. Sorry about that.
I was just curious if anyone here had had any dealings with this outfit.
Thanks, Have a good one, Guy

I'd back up then, if any qty was availbale it would be a great deal.
Maybe 20 . A person could load up 5-6 loads of 3-4 each and get an inkling of future prospects.

Let me back up just a bit, please.
When I posted this, I was a little rushed and didn't explain things very well. But I did post the link so everyone could click through to the site and read more on it.
I have limited resources that I can spend on my hobby. That means I have a limited number of powder types. My first thought when I found this site was that I could try several bullet types and weights for my 44. With moderate RA in my hands and wrists, to be honest, 1 bullet would tell me if I wanted to make more of a particular recipe.
With limited powder types, I could do 4 groups of 5 (20) of 5 types of bullets at a certain charge of a particular powder. Thus get a little insight as to which direction I would put my limited resources. I will mostly load in a certain range, I need less recoil more than I need extreme accuracy.
Now, back to my original question.....Has anyone had any dealings with this outfit? If so, were you happy with the transaction?
Thanks for everyone's input and have a great day, Guy
