It varries from year to year but in general
Big Game depends on how many will see use in a year or I am doing load developent
20-40 at least 20 for practice then however many hunting genraly sub 10 over 100 if load development involved.

Centerfire varmint 200-300

Rimfire swings wildly this last year was slow so only 2 or 3 bricks 1500 a peak year could be as high as 5000+ I have had a 1000 round day shooting gophers and that was with a bolt gun, now I have a semi, that same day my buddy put 2000 though his 10/22.

This year...about 3500, not counting 22 rimfire.  17 Rem, 204, 223 (over 1500), 243, 6.5x55, 7.5x55, 270 Win, 357 mag, & 44 mag.

Only a 100 or so on some....3-500 on others.

223 always goes for prairie dogs.  Same with 17 Rem & 204.  Just picked up the 243, so it has not seen a prairie dog ....yet! :)

30-40 rounds per range session twice a week for 30-30, 300 win and now .223 on average unless some one brings a mini-14 or bushmaster.
A easy 4000 RDS this year of handloaded ammo. I'm sure once you add in the Mini-14, AR and Rimfire way more then that.

200 of 22 hornet
Just got a 223 a couple months ago and have shot 150 rounds already.
Dam add them up and guess I'm doing pretty good in a years time lol

Like others, not near as much as I used to. 2 to 3 range trips a week was the norm for me up until a few years ago, that included a lot of blackpowder shooting. Anymore it's just an occasional trip to do load work, I think I've only made 7 or 8 range trips this year, but each one was 5-6 hrs at a time with 4-6 rifles along for the shooting. Range operations have a lot to do with my shooting habits since they charge $15 for an hour or all day, so I get my money's worth each time I go!!

OK, that is a good question....

45-70, normally 100-150 a month loaded with BP
.223 100-200 a month
.32-20 normal month 100
.41 mag 100-150 a month
.45 auto 50-100 a month
12 ga. 400-500 a year
.22-250 maybe a 100 a year anymore (Bolt gun is too heavy to lug around every where)
The .17 hmr and the .22 rf, no telling, some months nothing some months way too much.

I also shoot other rounds when I am out with my dad or friends but have no idea how many of what except I can tell you I got to fire 3 rounds of .50 BMG last year :)

During the spring and summer I was shooting at least three times each week and sometimes everyday (weekends excluded).  I live within ten minutes of the range, which affords me the opportunity to get two - three hours per day of range time.  I usually take four to five rifles of which two will be a .22LR and/or .22Mag, so I can take a break for the thumpers.  Most of the time, I'm testing ammo, sighting in for different distances, shooting something new or testing something I've tinkered with, so ammo consumption isn't that high.  I would guess, maybe 100 - 150 rounds, on average, each week.  I became spoiled, though.  Throughout the Spring/Summer season, each time I went to the range I had it to myself.  Now that hunting season is upon us, the range is usually occupied so I'll probably not get any serious range time until after deer season.
