Okay, we've been having a fun with last night's topic, it even expanded into a poll.
As promised, I now invite you to get your calculators back out, your shooting records, and let's see what we spend on ammunition each year.
Here I go:
1999: 247 rnds of .45=$49
2000: 1,062 rnds .45=$212
1 ,302 rnds .38=208
2,725 rnds 9X18=275
5,515 rnds .22=110
--------
$805
2001: 1,524 rnds .22=$30
400 rnds 9X18=40
975 rnds .38=156
920 rnds 9mm=129
-------
$355
2002: 188 rnds 9X18=$19
630 rnds .38=101
1,610 rnds .22=32
405 rnds 9mm=57
289 rnds 7.62=20
155 rnds .380=25
-------
$254
2003: 638 rnds .22=$13
1,348 rnds 9mm=189
70 rnds .45=14
100 rnds .38=16
1,100 rnds .380=176
505 rnds 7.62=35
-------
$443
Figures are computed using .10 for 9X18
.16 for .38 Special
.14 for 9mm
.07 for 7.62X39
.16 for .380
.02 for .22lr
.20 for .45 ACP
Total of $1,906 divided by the five years comes to $381 average a year.
