    I tend to shoot 501-1000 during the winter and 100-500 during the summer

      I would say between 300-600. Depends on the month. Sometimes less sometime more.

        Like most other it varies. Once I got my GSG 1911 .22 it really went up though. I try and get to the range once a week and usually run through about 250 9mm, .40 and .45 rounds and then another 250 rounds from the GSG so close to 2000 per month total.

I try to identify a fundamental such as trigger control or sight picture and work on that during a session, and I find that after about 150 rounds my concentration begins to fall off, so that is what I usually limit myself to.
          This is an excellent point. I found that there is no actual gain to shooting >200 rounds in a single session for the same reason. Hand gets tired, eyes are strained and I will start to get lazy with the sights. 150-200 rounds a day... awesome, 1000 rounds per day and fundamentals will suffer imo.

            I go though about 2500 of 9mm and 40S&W a month. Most of what i shoot is my reloads. but sometimes i'll shoot a couple boxes of factory ammo to see how they compare to my reloads.

              With the price of factory 45 ACP these days, not much in that gun. Maybe 100. But now that I am reloading that will increase. Just got my 22 pistol too so I'm anticipating about 1k of ri fire or so per month

                a box of WWB and some reloads at the indoor range everytime ago, and I only go maybe twice a month. So around 100 to 300.

                When I go to a private range session, or BLM land, I don't do round counts anymore, its more like dollar figure counts.....

                  At this point in time with how tight money is, i've slowed down a lot in shooting. I just cant afford multiple range days a month. The cost of ammo(even though reloaded)+gas to drive there+overpriced range fees forces me to just stock up instead and just train with drills and snapcaps.

                  10mm. Because .45ACP just doesn't cut it anymore. <Trailerparktrash>

                    400 - 500 9mm. That's about 100 rounds per range trip.
