Well, since I mostly did videotaping and observation, I only fired off about 250-300 rounds.  I probably used less rounds than anyone else there.

I (or people using my guns) fired off 1450 rounds, but that includes using my ammo in someone else's M16, on the other hand they were not being fired continuously all day as other people fired out of that spot also.

I think I also shot 20 rounds of Goatboy's 308 through his AR10. I had not shot one before, but was impressed with it, nice ergonomics and good scope mounting system compared to HKs.

I didn't read that carefully enough, I BROUGHT 2160 rounds of 7.62x39, 1500 rounds of 5.56 and 1400 rounds of 308.

... sadly for me, I wasn't able to attend [b]BulletFest[/b]. But a good policy at any shoot is to bring more ammo than you [i]expect[/i]  to shoot. Not only is it good business for you, it's may be good for your friend that may have forgotten a caliber of one of his class III weapons.

I probably only shot 1/2 as much as last year, maybe 1K.

I took approx 5000rds, and only shot about 600rds...

There were too many groupies hanging in our area too get any real shooting done...

There were two seperate occasions when we had to yell at people for handling our class3 firearms without permission...

Next year we will erect a fence like our buddy Howard did...

I brought 7,000 rounds of 8mm linked and belted up.  Fired off about 4,000 rounds.  Fired only 90 rounds through my M16 and 15-20 out of My AR50.

Since next year will be a two day event,  I'll need more ammo next year and probably a larger vehicle. [:D]
