How many rounds per trip?

[Frostbite]

Usually 20-30 rounds for the .30-06 (I bring 40, but I am not ashamed to take some back home with me, especially during Summer, when I wear just a shirt), 333 rounds for .22 LR, 15-125 rounds for 12 gauge depending on load and use.

Muzzleloader? I shoot it twice to confirm it shoots where it is supposed to shoot before the hunting season, that is all. The .270 Win. is only checked with a few rounds too, usually four, or one mag. The two nicest guns are the least shot.

The most shot rifles are the two .22s by very, very far; they are a semi and a bolt. The others are expensive for me.

I have to go to a range nowadays. It was different when I was young.

Sighting in? Maybe 20 or so. Practice at long range? 50 or more. A couple hundred if it's 5.56.

When I was active in "smallbore", I was practicing 100 rounds of match grade 22 LR a week. I would love to start back. I just can't afford $14 a box of 50... At least not at this time. Maybe if Social Security ever gets a raise... Well, maybe not.

50-100 if it's pistol, 20-50 for bolt rifle, and 100 or so with an AR/AK.

Generally, my shooting comes during a break while clearing/maintaining trails on my property, so an all-afternoon shootout isn't really the goal.

Used to shoot much more volume, but now some of my best shooting is 50 rounds of reloaded .38 lead from a well work GP100......

In my 458 win mag - 20 heavy loads is more than enough. In my Big Bore lever guns I usually take 20 rounds each, sometime 40 each. Handguns, usually 100 rounds each.

I try to get to the range every week so I burn through plenty of reloads.

Don't go very often anymore. I used to go at least once a month, I probably haven't been in over a year though.

When I did go, it was usually about 200 rounds per a gun in my semi-auto pistols, and I would take 2 or 3, and 400 rounds in my AR. If I took a .22 rifle, usually around 200 rounds. If I took a center fire bolt action, it was usually just to work up a load or sight it in, so maybe 20.
