Rifle-2500 at Prarie dogs, 500 at paper and other stuff(varmits mostley) 500 handgun, and one shotgun shell so far this year, but it was good for a 20lb. turkey with a 9 3/4" beard. Hope I get time to shoot one more of those shotgun shells.

I end up getting a bug up my ass, and spend everything I have on new "toys" with almost nothing left over for ammo.

I can't get the "hysterical crying" smilie to work for me, either.

What gives?

Wow. (rough math)
[b]62,075[/b] a year
about [b]1,200[/b] a week
You would have to shoot around [b]170[/b] rounds a day.
(62,000, divided by 52 weeks, divided by 7 days)

And this wasn't even a military or LE application(reloads). You still are only half way to the Mall Ninja's totals. 400 nightly

I can only fire about 60 rounds on the weekend before I get bored. Usually about 30 weeks a year(wheather). That would make my totals about 1,800/yearly.

I guess I could do more, but I go for group size, not brass pile height. It takes me about 4 hrs to fire those weekly 60 rounds.

The year that I did this I bought 60,000 primers and most of them were gone.I shot three and sometimes four times a week.I remember having three 2# coffe cans of spent primers.I was looking through reloading records and added up the totals for each year.I am getting ready to build a new reloading room/gun vault.Siffting through all of my stuff trying to decide what to get rid of and cant find anything I want to turn loose of. If any of you have a room do you store your firearms vertical or hang them horizontal

Wow you guys shoot way more than me. Since I'll be doing a lot more competitions this year, I suppose I'll be doing a lot more.
Last year, 1700 rifle, 700 pistol and about 350 shotgun rounds (mostly trap).

This year I've expended nearly 1000 rifle rounds, over 1100 pistol, and 15 shotgun rounds. Kinda slow I know, but I'm broke paying for a house, wedding, car, etc., etc., etc.

[:)] Hey, "rttc" and "sfoo". You need to get your wives involved in this shooting thing and then with one common pass time (I am talking shooting) you will have all kinds of support for the bucks it costs. Reloading is the only way to go, as far as I am concerned. I don't think of shooting in terms of the cost of ammo anymore. [^]
