How many rounds do you go through

[backtrail540]

On average how many rounds do you go through in a month? Besides the obvious answer of not as much as i would like to, i have been on a slow pace as of late and only putting about 50-100 rds through each of my firearms so somewhere between 150-200 per month. Just wondering what the rest of you guys go through

 

[WhitleyStu]

I like to work up new loads and chrono them (usually 50 at a time) so I am not into running large amounts of ammo through my handguns and rifles. I average 200-300 rounds/month...

 

[stilllearning09]

Around 200 - 300 rounds a month. Since 9mm is hard to find, I figure I 'm lucky if I have that much to shoot in a month.

 

[barryG]

2000+ depending on Match schedule.

 

[captpaul]

I been shooting around a thousand a month through my tactical sport. Maybe another 500 between .22's, shotgun, etc.

 

[SCAR]

I go through about 300rds per month with my duty handgun, 100rds through my duty rifle and 1k through my 22's.

 

[sp3worker]

I've been shooting a couple boxes of .300 Win Mag a month just to get ready for an upcoming antelope hunt. Other than that, not much. It almost is too much of a pain in the ass to drag all my gun crap to the range with me. I like to do that once or twice a year, but not every month.

2000+ depending on Match schedule.

What caliber are you shooting?

That's $400/month if you were shooting 9mm.

Wow.

 

[clt46910]

Normally about 500 to 1000 a month. But with the price and availability of ammo of late it is down to about a 50 to 100 just to keep proficient and so I do not deplete my stored ammo.

 

[Joe Williams]

What caliber are you shooting?

That's $400/month if you were shooing 9mm.

Wow.

We've really got to get you into reloading This is what $250/month gets us when we have the $$$ to shoot as much as we'd like:

This is what we shoot, and what it costs, when we can actually budget what we'd like:
.38 Special = 400 rds a month cast bullets
.357 Magnum = 400 rds a month using cast bullets
.357 Magnum = 100 rds a month using XTP HPs $23
.45 ACP = 800 rds a month using cast bullets
3 bricks of .22s.

 

[mettle]

About 1K or so. Depending on range time and if I can get there as much as I want to.

9mm and 5.56. .22LR about 2K or so.

 

[243rem700]

On average 100 or so due to ranges being so far and my work schedule. About twice that if you count the ammo I let others shoot out of my guns.

 

[babolat69]

Unfortunatly probably not more than 100 per month because of limited range time..

 

[Vigilant]

500 at max 9mm, 7.62x39, and 5.56 combined. Until I can find a source that has plentiful ammo in mediocre prices, I'll probably scale back to a lot of airsoft FoF practice for a little while. My stocks are depleting faster than I can find resupply.

 

[Benjamin]

During summer months 1500rds+. In August during the Grand American and other big shoots maybe 2000-3000rds.

 

[Marc]

around 10 rounds a month

 

[sporter]

500-1k, all centerfire.

 

[grunt soldier]

500 a month through my pistols...1k in 22's and probably 100 for my rifles just to make sure my 100 yard zero is still good. i can't afford to shoot more 308 than that anymore

 

[swmp9jrm]

I try to make it to the range at least every other week, so I guess this adds up to about 250-300 or so rounds a month for the handguns, and 50-100 rounds for the rifles. Don't have either time or money to be able to do more!

 

[Glocker1986]

100-500 sometimes more and sometimes less
