Just curious. I see some folks keeping track of each shot fired to the single digit, some not so much, some not at all, where are you?
Me, I used to keep track, now I'm in within 100 or so on my recollection. Beyond that, I'm not keeping track. On my uber reliable pistol, I simply keep checking off which ammo it doesn't eat. So far, none, so I don't even think about it after two magazines have cycled through it. This little Taurus 45 is a teenage boy around food. Nothing it won't eat. My nickname used to be Kirby...really.
On my non-CCW guns, I keep track since the last hiccup, which brings us back to why their non-CCW. Until I hit a thousand, it resets each time and I start figuring out which ammo it prefers if I do wish to ever ccw it for 2 legged defense. If I get jumped by something in the woods, I'm sure I'll find time to draw and fire at least one chambered round. After that, my dogs should provide me with the time needed for any issues...GULP!!
Thankfully, It feeds double tap and Reed's offerings flawlessly.
On my rifles, I break them in and only keep track per range session really. My hunting rifles don't get much, target rifles get a lot. I have all the brass as a reloader and could count on my rifles, but why bother. A few shots a year for zero and practice, and hopefully a couple during hunting season.
Now I want to tune a load for my rifle and start improving my repeatability for long shots on squeaks this spring. I'm new to all this and as an engineering type, I could track every little detail. But as a technician type, I also need to stick to what matters. Numbers are numbers, some of them don't make any difference, some do. I want to concentrate on those that do.
