How many rounds do you shoot in a typical range visit?

[dsltech]

I am just curious as to what people do when they visit the range. I have seen many people shoot a box of 50 and leave within 10min. Ranges charge by the hour but I don't think I have ever seen someone shoot a whole hour all by themselves. I personally shoot a 100 count box of my own reloads in 9mm, .38 or .357, and .40 each at least once a week. If I didn't reload I know I would not even think of shooting 300 rounds of factory ammo a week. So what are you guys doing?

I have been shooting ~200 rnds everytime I go shoot and sometimes more if I have a rifle/pistol. I do reload to supplement though. If you are comfortable with your skill level then a round count isn't all that matters.

Depends on the weather, my purpose, and the amount of time I have. Typically, I shoot about 200-300 rounds every time, about twice a month on average. I have gone as high as 1,000 between various guns. But that was a rare (and expensive) day!

also about 200 rnds. sometimes 300 if i feel like it.

400-600 every week or two through 7 pistols. Love them all to much to leave any out

Depends on what I'm shooting

Lately it's been only the following. Have only been able to go a couple hours at most each time

Bolt - 60 to 100
AR style - 200 to 250
Handgun - 100 to 150

Practice with 200-300 rds a couple times a week. Today was 400 rds.

I hate practice.

100 through each CCW plus a few mags through whatever else made the cut...

[purer00r]

Today I shot 19 rounds, yesterday I shot 69 rounds, normally I'll shoot 50 rounds a week. Depends on what I want to work on.

[rcslotcar]

7 mag 40 rounds
.223 100 rounds
9mm 200-300 rounds
38/357 200 rounds
45 lc 100 rounds
average trip to range

I try to limit it to 200 for a typical visit, if I'm there for a half-day or longer, then I'll shoot more. I found that after a certain point my form starts to break down and I get less and less value out of firing off more rounds. I try to make my range time really count.

Not all ranges charge by the hour. For example, my senior membership at Sac Valley lets me shoot all day for $3. For non members I think it's $12.

There it's common for folks to shoot all morning or all afternoon. I don't think I've ever done less than 2 hours. 250 is probably the minimum I've done but I seldom go over 500 rounds.

You can do just 50 rounds per handgun caliber per visit or 20 in .308 and 60 in AR or AK caliber but you need to do it frequently as possible. Once a week if you can or once in 2 weeks.

[D.A.V.I.D.]

around 200 rounds once a week.

[CodyGT46]

Before I started reloading I would shoot usually 50-150 rounds total through my handguns, never much of a rifle shooter since I prefer shooting stuff other than paper with them.

Since I started reloading 9mm, .38/.357 and .45 Auto/.45 Auto Rim I've upped my shooting to about 100-300 rounds 'per' handgun now. Then after I get back I get to keep myself preoccupied for awhile and get into a zen centered self and reload.
