How many rounds do you fire per year...for practice?

[nerfsrule2]

Quote:
Because of component availability last year fired only 200,000 rounds off from the usual 600,000.
Thats all you shoot? I do that in a month.

... I Shoot that much per shift at the Mall... Seriously...Mostly 22 out of a Model 41 and various 17's..(10,000) Then around 1,000 rounds each out of A Springfield Long Slide.. Several Glocks..and numerous 686's...

For the last 3-4 years averaged:

About 2500 9mm
About 1200 5.56
About 2000 .22LR
About 50 .243
About 12 .50 BMG

Rounds fired for the Army can add anywhere from just 100 (Minimum for zeroing, qualifying, and "familiarizing" twice each year) 5.56 per year, to 500 rounds per year, depending on the training budget and the high-speediness of the training NCO.

 

[kenno]

After decades of slothful inactivity I have awoken, built a range and now fire about 150rnds a week

 

[Beaux Nehr]

Before I started handloading it was probably somewhere around 800 to 1,000 a year of various .45acp loadings.

Now that I've started, I've already burned through that much in the first 4 months.

 

[Snowdog]

3000 to 5000, approximately. I don't keep count, but do go through around 300 rounds a month, primarily of .45acp but some 9mm and perhaps a couple hundred rounds of .38 special (edited to specify a couple hundred .38 special a year, not a month).

Yes, I do reload and enjoy it quite a bit. I even use a single stage Lee press, loading 100 - 300 rounds at a time every other week. It's my form of meditation I guess; my quiet time away from work and a fussy 16-month-old.

 

[glassman]

I admire such dedication to the craft

I never thought of it as dedication, really. Being involved in the shooting sports is just a lot of fun and something I (and most others you'll see here) enjoy doing as often as possible. Your OP has made me look at the money I spend on ammo. Loading my own just might be in my future.

 

[michiganfan]

7000k a year. Give or take. Roughly 3000 9mm, 1000 .223 and a 1000 12ga and 2000 .22

 

[possum]

25-30k a year. In .40 s&w.

when i attend training courses i use factory fmj, or remanufactured lead ammo.

the rest of the time i use 155gr lead rn reloads.

 

[sniper5]

Well, let me see. About 200 rounds of .22 per week. About 100-150 rounds of .357 mag per week. About 200-300 rounds of each: 7.62x51, 7.62x54R, 8x56R, 6.5x55 Swede, 7.5x54 MAS, 7.5x55 Swiss, 8x57 Mauser per year. Probably about 1000 rounds of 20ga. Probably an equal amount of dry fire time.

Let's see, I think that's everything except for what I shoot through the occasional rental.

 

[schnarrgj]

Just a ballpark figure of about 10,000 per year. This includes 380, 9mm Mak, 9mm, 223,7.62x39,7.62x54r,7.5 swiss,7x57 and 8x57. Yes I do reload.

 

[doc2rn]

I would say ~ 6000 rds of .22
~3000 .38
~500 9mm
~500 45
~3000 20g

 

[TexMexSu]

Since we just started shooting again this year I can only go by the month to date this year.

At present we have limited ourselves to 2 calibers, .22LR and .357 Magnum.

About 100-200 per month .38/.357

App. 1000-1500 per month .22LR

 

[Publius1688]

.45 ACP= at least 100/wk.
.38 Special=at least 30/wk
Various other calibers: 100/week combined.
I handload for all.

 

[duns]

Around 150-200 rounds per visit, maybe 10 visits a year, so 1500-2000 in a year. Mixed between 38 special and 9mm (plus 357 mag if at an open air range). Just bought a .45 1911, so .45 ACP will also be included in the future. I shoot mostly FMJ for cheapness but always put at least a mag of JHP though each gun at each visit.

 

[jonnyc]

Pistols...between 5000-6000 RPY. Add another 1000 or two for rifles.

 

[The Bushmaster]

Hummm. How many rounds do I fire in a year? Never thought about that, but I do know my bill for reloading supplies is a major out flow of cash from the budget each year...

 

[endebt]

I guess i must be lucky. I own a ranch. I shoot every day. I carry a model 85 everywhere on the ranch. The 4 wheeler RTV has a AR and a 22 LR and a 22Mag on it. When I am checking cows or just driving and checking fence i am always carring. I have a range set up to 300 yds that i use 4 or 5 times a week. We have lots of hogs, yots, and buzzards. i try to keep them in control. I can not image haveing to go somewhere to shot. Much less pay to shoot. A lot of my friends come out to sight in and shoot.

 

[orionengnr]

Close to 10,000 per year...

About 100 rounds of .22LR and about 100 rounds of centerfire (80% 45acp).
Yes, I reload.

 

[Hangingrock]

I thought that I should at least attempt an answer as opposed to my first reply which was whimsical/snide/sarcastic. In all honesty I’ve lost count. With three progressive units and one single stage I’ve simply lost tract. Use to volume load over the winter in preparation for what I referred to as the shooting season now load as required. Still like to shoot and compete but the all consuming desire is no longer there. Its sort of like been there done that.

 

[snooperman]

I live on a farm and reload and....

have a private range on my land. Even at age 70 , I still shoot about 8,000 to 10,000 rounds a year. Plus my wife shoots too. I also hunt with riflres, shotguns, handguns and blackpowder guns as well. I shoot much more since I retired a few years ago.

 

[Rembrandt]

12-15,000.......22's
5000......12 gauge (trap)
2000.......223 & 308
8000.......centerfire pistol

 

[oldbear]

“It’s sort of like been there done that.”

I know exactly how you feel, so I limit my range time to generally once a month and shoot 150 – 200 rounds of .357 ammo.

 

[Sapper771]

10,000 a year (45acp , 9mm, and .223) prior to reloading. 17,000-20,000 a year now. Reloading really set me free. Those numbers include my work round count as well.

 

[Deaf Smith]

Glock 26.... 100 x 12 = 1200
Glock 26 AACK .22 80x12=960
Smith 640 .38 spl 50x12 = 600
Smith 34 2 inch .22 100x12=1200

M1 Carbine 50x12=600 (I reload baby, reload!)
10/22 M1 Carbine lookalike 100x12=1200

And that's just self defense practice. IDPA...hahaha that's a whole nother thing.

[HuntAndFish]

Through my carry gun, I am guessing roughly 1300 rounds per year. Double that if I take a class during the year.
