how many rounds do you guys shoot a month??? just wondering.

i shoot around 500 a month if you don't count rimfire (i shoot one brick a week)

For me it really depends on time of year. Summer-300+ Winter-175-200+ rough estimate I guess.
And all in between. :grin:
Should be an interesting Poll :agree:

Well sunday , between all the guns , center fire rifle , rim fire rifle , center fire hand gun and shotgun we went through a little over 1000 rounds with 4 of us shooting .

That is not a typical weekend though , most of the time it is about 500 .

I would have to 100 to two hundred in the winter months and 200 to 300 in the summer as well.

depends what i bring to the range. if its the H&R then maybe 100 but if the Garand makes it then it skyrockets. but then there's the SKS :-D :-D

not as many as I like to. I probably only shoot 50 rounds a month with the 223. I try to let it cool down real well before taking another shot which doesn't take long in wisconsin. Another brick of 22 shells goes through my pistol and god knows how many go through my shotgun. The numbers that some of you posted have me believing the barrel would be glowing afterwards. We only have a 100 yard range here so it gets a little old. I do however have permission to shoot at a farm that has about a 700 yard field with nothing in the way so I plan to begin shoting there.

I've been mostly laid off, so I'm going to the range every day, loadind every night. Handloads in 8*57, 308, 30-06, 7.5*55, 223, 243, 222, 25-07, 270, and 44 mag. Surplus in 8*57, 7.62*39, 7.62*54r. Lots of 22rf while barrels cool. The 44 mag revolver realy ups my consumption, 50 rounds doesn't last long at the falling steel range.

I've been keeping my empty primer boxes to count. so far this year I have 6 empty boxes, but some were not full to start. I have also shot a brick of 22, 2 70round bandoliers of turk 8*57, and some other surplus.

Hopefully, i'll get back to work more, but I have loved the free time.

Usually shoot about 250 rds a month in my personal gear. Factor work equipment in and the number goes way up.

Shoot about a 1/2 ammo can of loose 45 colt, or about 100-150 ,45-70
reloads per week end .Shoot much less a our club cowboy matches held monthly. maybee 100.

I usually go through 40 to 100 rounds with the center fires using the Hornet, 223, 22-250, 243, or 270 alone and a half a brick of 22 rimfire when I go to my range on Sundays and I usually am out there 3 times a month. It has to be really bad weather before I stay home.

pascalp · « **Reply #11 on:** January 27, 2006, 02:05:52 PM »

About 500/month.
~400 with handguns 22lr, 45acp, (32acp,38,44sp or 45colt more and more rarely).
~100 with rifles, 22lr,22H,30-30,45-70

Sometime less, sometime more. I would like to have more range time.

I spend a lot more time shooting in the spring, summer and fall than I do in the winter, partly because of the bad weather and mostly due to range congestion, they're only open weekends Nov-Mar, so I don't spend much time there then. If I don't count rimfire shooting, 100-150 rounds a month is about right.
