[ARCHIVED THREAD] - How many rounds do you put down range in a year??

Posted: 3/14/2006 3:38:16 AM EDT

So, how hard core are some of you? Right now, I'm pretty poor. I reload shotshell rounds, but don't reload anything else. I believe I shoot somewhere around 3k shotshell and about 2-3k brass in a given year.

Lately? Zero.

Hmmm, just 45ACP alone I'm going through about 1,000 rounds approx every two weeks. The 7.62 and 5.56 don't go that fast, thankfully.

3-5K .223.....Probably 800-1500 .40.....Maybe 500-1K 12Gauge.

That's just ballpark.

4k from various guns.

atleast 10k

At least 4k .223, several thousand of 9mm (now that I have a subgun), a thousand or so .45 ACP, couple thousand 7.62x51, maybe a thousand 7.62x39, couple thousand .22LR, a couple hundred .357 Mag, and maybe 400-500 shot shells.

500-1000 5.56,
500-1000 7.62,
100-200 9mm
10-20 12ga

10K +

No more than two or three hundred centerfire cartridges expended per year, excluding any "work related" expenditures.

For every round that is put down range, perhaps five are squirreled away for a rainy decade.

I read somewhere that Rob Leatham fires about 70,000 rounds a year.

That being said, I'll probably never get to his level at my current 2500-3000.

2-3K total.

Posted: 3/14/2006 5:05:04 AM EDT

[#17]

If I had the money, I'd shoot a lot more.
Right now, its between 100-150 every weekend or so. Most of this is either 45 or 223.

Well....my standard weekend shoot goes something like this:

Handgun: (Glock 17)
100rds @ 25m
100rds @ 15m
500rds @ 7m-7 feet

Rifle: (Colt M4)
100rds @ 300m
100rds @ 100m
200rds @ 50m-25m
300rds @ 7m-7 feet

Shotgun: (1187)
25rds Slug @ 50m
100rds Slug/Buck @ 25m-15m

Figure I get to do this about 20-25 weekends out of the 52 total availible. Factor in Dept. quals, SWATquals, training days, IDPA, Pin Shoots etc....

So, anywhere from 30-38k a year, give or take a couple k.

5,000 - 7,000.

Geez, I'd be embarrassed to even try counting them.

Probably a 3-4 hundred on average. I'd love to shoot more, I just have no time.

I'm hoping to actually use the toys I've been accumulating once I move to a new house. And get some training soon too.

a crap load, maybe too much seeing how I cannot replace my spent 7.62 x 39 now

5-7K give or take, more if I can afford a carbine class during the year!

Over 12k throught my 9mm OLY.
2-3000 9mm in a pistol.
2k 5.56
10-20 bricks of 22
