How many rounds do you shoot per range session?

[italy4nra]

21-50, because a box of 50 per gun. More is too epensive a weekend

 

[jbr]

I usually take several guns with me and i don't get to go that often so while i'm there i put as many down range as possible

 

[intercooler]

I just got the .44 and haven't been with it yet but here is how it goes for me. I start cheap and finish cheap plus have a method of how I proceed.

- Warm up with 22A .22 about 100 rounds (10 mags).
- Put about 50 rounds (3 mags) through the 9mm just to stay up on it.
- Put about 36 rounds (6 cylinders) through the .357 just to stay up on it.
- Fun starts with the Match 10mm putting 42 rounds (3 mags) through it.
- Continued fun with the Hunter 10mm putting 42 rounds (3 mags) through it.
- Finish by going back to the 22A .22 about another 150 rounds (15 mags) of plinking.

- Insert .44 Mag now before the 22A finish now. I figure 18 rounds (3 cylinders) through it for the WOW factor!


Darn. I'm like $80 a visit!

I usually take two pistols,my range gun and my EDC.I usually shoot 180-220 through my Gen 4 G17 and at least four or five mags through my Gen 4 G26.

 

[boatmanschneider]

We shoot once a week, 50 rounds. .40 and .38spl.

 

[Sav .250]

It all depends on what the objective is . Sight in:: as many as it takes to get the job done.
Punching holes in paper, just for fun. No number, just till I`m done.

 

[pockets]

I usually shoot for catharsis.....
One group of five rounds just won't do the trick, it takes a few hundred rounds to relax me.

Normally when I got to the range I have a purpose. I don't just go there to blast of rounds.

I normally go to zero a new rifle and re-affirm my skills as a rifleman.
( man size target head & heart at 100 meters )
I will then move to pistol to make sure I can at least engage a man size target at 50 100 meters & less.

My last trip, was merely to zero then heat up my brand new bore with brass. Then see if it would launch steel... unfortunately for me it is still way to new and failed after 37 rounds. ( Stripped the case head ) =(

I then will go to the shotgun range and proceed to do as needed if needed.

I'm amazed at the people who bring 5+ guns at a time. I hate cleaning, so my limit is 3 guns.

Usually 100-200 rounds.

 

[intercooler]

Cleaning isn't bad. You do it enough getting quick comes to you.

Since I got my 22/45 I have been putting A LOT more shots down-range than I used to with just centerfire guns. Yesterday I was having so much fun "getting the red out" of my targets with the .22 at 25 yards that I remarked to the range officer as I was leaving that I decided to keep my other guns I brought with me clean. I don't know how many rounds I fired but it had to be more than 300.

 

[Pilot]

I usually shoot about 100 rounds of centerfire, then follow up with a 100 rounds of .22LR. I reload, so the amounts I shoot of centerfire revolves around how much ammo I've made. If I don't have much centerfire, I will shoot more .22. Gotta love .22's!

 

[roadchoad]

I chose 21-50, but that number varies from gun to gun.

.22 LR is usually well above that number, maybe 50-200.

Slugs in the shotguns are usually just a few, as are buckshot. Get the clays going and it could be hundreds.

Often I'm shooting with others, so we each put 20 rounds or so through a gun, and each gun eats 100 rounds or so.

Centerfire rifles are usually 5-30. Single shots are very low, just to make sure it is still sighted in, or slow shooting for accuracy. Maybe dump a mag from the saiga for fun.

Centerfire rifle ammo, buckshot, and slugs are expensive. 9mm, .22LR and target shotshells are cheap. I shoot accordingly.

 

[mdauben]

I voted 100-200

I generally don't bother to go to the range unless I've got more than one gun to shoot. If I have a couple handguns, I will usually shoot at least 50 rounds each (100 total). If I've got my AR, I will usually shoot at least 150 rounds (or five, full 30-round mags). If I'm shooting a bolt or lever rifle, I usually shoot less than 50, but I normally will have either the AR or one or more handguns along, too, to make up the difference.

For concealed carry, practice strong and support hand drawing, strong and support hand one handed shooting, one-handed reloads, malfunction clearing, barricade shooting, drills, etc. As much as I can get away with on a range. Practicing on a moving targets or while on the move is not quite as easy to find around here. Fairly easy to blow through 100+ rounds just to rotate through everything once. Shooting sessions for fundamentals too. The more rounds you send downrange, the better your data averages and the more you can analyze your shots, as well as improve. If doing a training course, that could exceed 1000 rounds over two days.

Of course, shooting for fun and shooting for training are two different purposes. Since shooting for fun is fun, I want the fun to last longer than 10 rounds. I can spend all day on my Walter GX1 or 10/22 sending .22lr to the 200 yard line and trying to outsmart wind. My person preferences. If I had more money and time, I'd shoot even more.

 

[bannockburn]

On average I usually shoot about 150 rounds per centerfire handgun. Probably double that for rimfires and maybe around 200 rounds through my AR-15.
