I am still pretty new to this, but 100 rounds of .357 cost me about $9. So i don't mind having them. It wasn't unpleasant to shoot, just wasn't what i expected. I suspect if/when i ever get into developing more intricate/powerful/purposeful rounds, i will do smaller batches as i develop it. At this point, its more like its sub 1/3 the cost to go throw some lead down the range.

Good tip though. I appreciate it!
