just wondering
if you do not shoot competition, how many bullets do you send down range each year?

RE: just wondering
A rough guess for me is between 1200 and 1400, load tweeks and just plain practice-----------time permitting i'll attend 15 or so 40 round sillywet matches ------

RE: just wondering
Less than 500, but at the Quigley I usually take 300 rounds to shoot through-out that week amd 48 for the shoot.

I need to get out more Cool.
That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it!

RE: just wondering
It's hard to say for me because I cast during the winter and stock up with several thousands and end up casting in the summer also.
I guess I could take an average of 70 + rounds per pound of powder I shoot up in a year.
Last year I was way below what I used in the past with under four cases, year before I used over 5 cases.
With the price of lead and tin being what it is now I shoot into one spot of the berm so I can recycle my lead as much as I can and re use it. I just recycled a 5 gallon bucket full I collected last year.

RE: just wondering
Well, I shoot competitions and shoot at work so I'll try and break it down. My total round count per year between everything is around 15k, maybe a bit more depending on the year. If I subtract rounds shot training at work, competition and comp practice my "just for fun" shooting probably makes up only about 3-4k rounds of that.
