How many rounds?

How many rounds do you shoot a year for practice?

I'm shooting my pistol more this year attempting to shoot more accurately and faster

 

[mdhunter]

Maybe 50? I never claimed to be a sniper and seldomly shoot over 200 yds.

I’m probably also in that 50-100 range. I’ve shot more the last couple of years, got a handful of rifles that I’ve been making tweaks to and upgrading most of my scopes.

 

[WapitiBob]

250 the first 2 months of this year.

Depends in what the season holds.

Wisconsin rifle hunt: usually very little, three to five unless something squirrelly is going on. Not sniping anything where I hunt, everything is 75 and in.

Wisconsin archery: A lot, all summer long. Hundreds. (I know not really what this thread is about).

Western rifle a lot more. Western muzzleloader maybe 20-30, especially with primers being so scarce, BH being so stupid $, and my beloved Federal BorLocks are getting very hard to turn up.

This is why I like 308. I can run practice with cheap steel case ammo throughout the year, then just shoot a 3-6 rounds of my hunting ammo before the season opens to confirm those are still zeroed in. That said, I’m only shooting 20-30 per trip to the range before my shoulder gets sore so I’m probably still around 100/yr.

Total round count or specifically firearms used for hunting?

Total round count or specifically firearms used for hunting?

Guess I'm just interested generally. Im shooting probably 300rds through my rifle annually and more through my pistol.

 

[Dsnow9]

I happy at-least a hundred in my hunting rifle every year.

Probably 20-40

 

[Carl 9.3x62]

Not as many as I should. Maybe 20?

 

[HandgunHunter]

Around 3000 revolver practice.

100 single shot handgun

Bricks of 22 in the handgun

 

[woods89]

300-400 per year, through 2 rifles, 80% away from the bench.

I'm going to plead the 5th on this one

 

[HuntTalk Freak]

Maybe 200 total these days.

I use to shoot 15-20k. No way I could afford to do that now.

 

[ccc23454]

Feb & Mar are my usual annual practice/load development times. This year will be significantly less shooting due to unusual presence of snow at my ranges making them useless.

 

[Jbotto]

I’m usually in the 100-200 rounds per year range with hunting rifles, from .223 and up. Probably 300-400 revolver rounds, 500+ pistol rounds. Way down on shotgun and rimfire lately. Maybe a case of shotgun shells and a brick or two of rimfire. I used to be much higher on all of these but I don’t have as much time as I used to. I wish I could get back to it. Maybe this will be the year I get my reloading bench back up and running and I’ll be able to pump those numbers up again.

 

[fishing4sanity]

I used to be in the 2,000 to 2,500 rounds for rifles a year, but it was probably <1,000 last year. I need to step it up.
