I have more than enough empty brass in the shop to turn in every month, I could keep going for a long time hoarding my new allotment!

You cant hoard it. The OP says your max capacity of ammo is 1000 rnds. Which will reset each month. You have to shoot it.

I have a training rifle and a "ready to go" rifle. Both are the same so I can shoot the shit out of one and still be 100% good to go with the other.
600 rounds for a training course. 2x 200 round skills building practice sessions |

Wouldn't have to do anything to it - it would last me ten years. Once the rifle is sighted in, the only thing left is annual qualification. Anything else is just shooting up ammo for the hell of it.

Quoted:
If you could only get 1000 rounds of ammo each month, how would you break it up?(assuming you're only shooting one caliber) One long day of shooting? Split it up for a 2 or 3 sessions a month? Use all of it with your go to rifle, Or split it up evenly to give all rifles some love? And let's assume you only get 1000 rounds per month, no rollover rounds here. 1000 max. Resets each month. This is just a for fun question, don't go crazy or over think this. Lol I do more saving than shooting these days, but part of that is because I have a 3 month old and don't have much free time to go do what I want anymore  plus I am already familiar with my guns and know they are going to go bang every time through past testingETA screw that reset shizz, you need ammo stockpiled.

For me this would have to be dependant:
If I can have a different caliber each month then I would most likely switch a couple times. you know 556 a couple months in a row with a couple range trips and 2 rifles A month of 300 BLK and a couple trips to the range. and 1 month a year of 30 Cal M1 Ball and I am pretty sure I dont really want to do that in a once a month trip. I am sure I pushed the rules there but anyway if it is a fixed answer, then 5.56 thru 2 rifles and most realistically one trip a month |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Since I know your situation and you'll prob need to test your stuff out over the next few months/maybe zero your optics get familiar with setup etc. I would shoot half and save half for a bit. Buy a case, save half back, shoot half. Then once the time comes stockpile maybe 3/4 at a time and shoot less. I do more saving than shooting these days, but part of that is because I have a 3 month old and don't have much free time to go do what I want anymore plus I am already familiar with my guns and know they are going to go bang every time through past testingETA screw that reset shizz, you need ammo stockpiled.
But this was just a for fun question. Haha |

250 per weekend. For maintaining skill or skill building.
One month get 5.56 the next 9mm. I pretty much primarily shoot 5.56 and 9mm. So it’s really no issue for me. |

More than one range session whilst using more than one rifle. I wish I shot that much each month.

well uh if hypothetical I would do 500 in mk262 for the AR, 200 for the .260 and 300 9mm those are my 3 go-to's but since were speaking hypothetically if I was given 1000 rounds of my choice each month I'd buy a 20mm rifle and destroy shit!
that and build some extreme ELR rig ie 375 lethal magnum and a 300 WM for warm ups ;) |

"if you could only get 1000rds each month"..... must be nice to be able to get 1000 rds a month.
If somebody were supplying this ammo then id split it up and shoot a little bit each weekend. Ive been doing more shooting lately than I used to but its no where even close to 1000 rounds a month...not even half that |

My local gun club is ten miles from my house. I often go there daily during the week. The only time I go on weekends is for matches or special events where I have to instruct or RSO.
I would count the days in the month minus weekends and holidays. (The range is busier on the weekends/holidays and I like it less crowded). Then I would spilt the ammo to the same amount every day. |

4-5 different calibers... 3-4 trips to the range.
And then I would have to start giving away all the excess brass.... Lol |

If I was buying 1000rds a month to shoot it would go something like this ...
9 months would be 5.56x45 2 months would be 9mm 1 month would be 7.62x51 RIFLE FIRING REGIMEN Scheduled range trip once a week with 180rds (4x180 = 720) The remaining 280rds would be for unscheduled training, sight-in, etc. HANDGUN FIRING REGIMEN Scheduled range trip twice a week with 200rds The remaining 200rds would be for unscheduled use. |

If I could split up the ammo usage ...
I'd buy 8,000rds of 556, 3,000rds of 9mm, 2,000rds of 762 FIRING REGIMEN 150rds 5.56x45mm per week 100rds 9mm every other week 150rds 7.62x51 once a month This would leave ... 200rds of 556 unscheduled 400rds of 9mm unscheduled 200rds of 762 unscheduled |

12,000rds of centerfire a year is robust (even ambitious) unless you're one of those types that likes to mag dump.
I don't mag-dump or allow my guns to get hot so 150-180rds is a nice range trip. |

1000 rounds is more than I currently average a month. I'd probably do 700 rounds in 9mm divided into 2-3 trips to the range for pistol practice, and the other 300 in 5.56 for fun through my AR.

In the summer this might be a reduction of what I shoot. With the large variation in calibers that I shoot, it would be necessary to create a rotating schedule to accommodate all the different calibered guns. I would likely do 250 a month for my go-to rifle and 250 a month on my go-to pistol and the other 500 to rotate among my other guns. I might have to shoot less part of the year.

If I got 1k rounds a month I would have a giant ammo fort after a couple years considering I have only been shooting maybe 2-3k rounds a year for a while now (if I could keep it all). Hell im down to just 3 calibers now (5.56x45, 7.62x51, and 9mm) so breaking it all up into 400/200/400 a month would be fine.
I need to shoot more. |

Rrrrright......and we should limit women to one pair of shoes per month.
1000 rounds a month is nothing. Think, what if.....I wanted a case of 22LR. OK, Ok, ok.....I guess that the ammo mfns would market a 1000 rd "case" of 22LR.
BUT.....why even consider this? Are you trying to give the LIBERALS ideas on how to limit FREEDOM? It's not my idea of "fun" to limit FREEDOM or give LIBERALS the thought that we could/would accept a 1000 rd limit per month. Next, they'll be saying..... "It's reasonable and common sense to limit purchases of ammo. Many on a certain pro gun website (AR15.com) agree that it's feasible and they'll accept it." Of course it's far from the TRUTH. But.....LOL. Rrrright......."80% of gun owners support stronger gun controls." Aloha, Mark PS.....OK, Ok, ok.....GUILTY. I've over thought this subject. Hummm.....shouldn't the GOVT have a program to ensure that the ammo poor get a fair amount given to them? "Ammo Welfare." |

Lol. If they start ammo welfare, Ill be applying.
I'm ammo poor. I'm probably in ammo debt. Ammo collections is probably trying to call me. But I don't answer. 300 bucks a month for 1000 rounds of 556 is rough over here. |

I will start this in the fall. Purchasing a case a month (5.56, 9mm, 7.62x51, and 7.62x39); mostly 5.56, but will alternate to add a couple cases of the others.
Honestly, 200-300 rounds a month is quite a bit if you actually "train". The guy I take classes with varies ammo requirements based on the class-level, but it's typically 150 rounds for a one day basic class; up to 250 for some of the advanced classes. Without an actual training plan, you're either just target shooting or plinking. I do like to verify zero on irons and optics which gives helps me maintain the fundamentals. Once you get into more dynamic drills, especially mag changes, transition drills, FTE/FEF drills, etc., you don't need hundreds of rounds; you just need a lot of 5-6 round magazines...and a lot of repetition. Give me 250 to zero and train and I'll stash the other 750
If the 1000 rounds includes other calibers, I would likely stick with 250 for my HD rifle; 100 for range stuff with my .308; 150 rounds 9mm for my pistol drills, 100 rounds of 12ga for the shotgun drills; and then spread the remaining 400 rotating through my spare rifles and handguns every month, putting at least 30-50 rounds through them to check zero, confirm functions, and familiarization.
