I dont think 50,000 is really that high of a round count, but i guess it depends on the owner. 200 rounds per month is 2,400 rounds per year, in 20 years or so bingo 50,000. I had a ruger mk 3 22/45 i shot 25,000 in one year - 1,000 every other weekend. Then i had kids. Granted thats 22lr . Ive got a gp100 thats my range mule , ive had it 6 years and probably have in the 30,000 range - i would have to check but i have kept track. I dont think i shoot as much as i would like but i do shoot a fair amount of 357.
