I don't know.
I've got a home range and shoot about every other day, so quite a bit.
How much shooting do you do?

At least once a week
120- 38's
60- 45's
on fun days add
500 - 22's
50 - 357's
50 - 41's
50 - 44's
if I didn't reload it would be a whole lot less. Right now I'm looking for primers before I run out. My next case is not due until 12-4-09

22 LR = 1000 rounds/year
40 S&W = 3000 rounds/year
22 magnum rifle = 1000 rounds/year
.223 = 2000 rounds/year
.308 = 1000 rounds/year
7.62x39 = 1000 rounds/year. I've got a stockpile of cheap wolf ammo for this one.
With this volume, handloading is a must.

This begs the question: why is ammo so commonly sold in packs of 50?
I can't think of any other product typically sold in units so much smaller than quantity used. I can fire off 3 boxes of ammo going at a leisurely pace in an hour even with one of them "slow" old-fashioned six-shooters. Selling ammo in boxes of 50 would be like making cereal boxes so tiny you could eat three for breakfast.

depending on how much the army wants to keep me at work during a year.... but normally between 25,000-30,000rds a year. the majority of that handgun in .40 which i reload, about 5k in .223/5.56 for ar training, and about 1,000rds in 12ga.

With my 30-30s and .308 I do roughly 4,000+ a year.

Not as much as I would like to. Time and money constrain me.

Let's see. I don't exactly keep track, but I go to the range at least once a month and I bring at least four of my guns and expend about 200-300 rounds through each.
So, ~9,600 per year on the low end, and ~14,400 on the high end. It is a mix of .22s, .38s, 9mms, .357s, .44specials, .44Mags, and .45s.
I don't own a .40.
The .22 usually always goes to the range, with a mix of other calibers for the other three.
