Ok I was just thinking about how when I'm doing load development, I hate buying 100 rd pack of bullets that may or may not work. So I got to thinking and this may already exist or been talked about but I couldn't find it. Why don't people trade around bullets among members to try in their different calibers.
Lets say I'm loading for my .243 and I want to try a 105 grain a-max and another member would like to try the 65 grain v-max that I have such good luck with. Why can't there be a section for bullet trades for load development. I don't probably need 100 bullets, a lot of times 1/3 of that would give me an idea if my gun likes 105 grain bullets. I know it could be done in the buy, sell, trade section but I think it would get lost among all of the other items. I don't know I was just thinking about it and wondered if anyone else thought this would work.
