    Oh man, I'm not shooting nearly enough. I'd put it at around 500 rounds, some months I shoot more, some months less. Now that I have two 9mm guns and two 357 guns, I have a great reason to go shooting and "save money" with the shared calibers

      I go from a low of a couple hundred a month to a high of six or eight hundred a month. Its never the same.

        i just got my first gun about 2 months ago, and have just gotten used to taking around 300 rounds (sometimes more) with me everytime i go, which is every week.

        btw, is that a YZF in your avatar pic?

          hehe...about 150 rds per month. I have really been off my game for the last year. I use to shoot once a week and 1k rounds a month. My groups have really opened up. Part of the reason I don't shoot as much is I'm lazy to drive 20 miles, lazy to reload, I lost my free pass when my buddy quite the range, and I can never find anyone to shoot with.

            Oh geez...per month? Around 3500-4000 rounds of 22, 300-500 of .223 (just finished my build a month ago.) 300 or so of 12 guage shotgun, 250-300 of 7.62X39. I try to get to the range 3 times a week, doesnt always happen though. Maybe if I shot less I could get my dear Sig 226R out of its prison in the display case .
            Please, calm down.

              I shot 650 rounds of 40SW through my XD40 last week It's my first gun
              I've slowed down some, I'll put another 200-300 rounds though on friday and prolly won't make it back to the range until next Friday. So I should hover around 1000-1200 rounds in my first month of gun ownership. I'm debating on getting a 9mm barrel or get a 22 rifle. Ammo from wally world is costing me around $16.20 per 100 rounds, that includes tax.

                About 200 per week, about half of the time I bring a .45 and the other half I bring a 9mm. Those are the only two calibers I have, except for a .38 that a member of this forum is buying from me soon.

                But, I plan on buying two .357's soon (a 640PD and a Performance Center 627 V-Comp). I will also get a .44 Magnum eventually. But, as far as semiautos are concerned, I'm pretty much done buying 9mm and will be buying more .45's.

                I shoot mostly Winchester White Box and give the .45 brass to my buddy who reloads (I reload too, with his equipment and materials, and primarily shoot it through his 1911's). I will reload .357 Magnum for myself.

                  wow, you guys sure shoot a lot. I do WAY more reading about firearms than I do playing with them. I've only gone shooting 3 times in the past 8 months. Hopefully this summer I'll have more time to spend with my hobbies.

                      And... I reloads... even my 9mm

                          Now that I joined the YSA, it costs me $1 to go shooting, so I just bring a 100rd box of Winchester & 50 of 357mag, and I try to go once or twice a week and hurl some from the Glock and the Taurus.

                          The bike is a ZX9R. I sold it two weeks ago, I ride an SV650 now. I guess I should change that picture..

                            It works out to about 1000 rounds a month but that number is going to increase since I just purchased a Buckmark!

                              I run about 600 every two weeks. That's various ammos, from 9mm, .40cal to 7.62x39 all the way to my Fal .308. It gets pretty expensive. Guess gotta slow down............NAAAAAAAAAH!
