how many rounds do you use per range trip?

If you are a frequent range user, how many rounds you normally shoot per trip? (Not counting any competitions you attend, just your regular range trips.)

After about 2 years of not shooting, I've started to go to the range regularly again this year (about once a month). Each trip I shoot about 150 rounds (between rifles/pistols/sometimes a round of trap/skeet)

LOL The only thing I miss about living in Vallejo is shooting at Richmond. The wire thing is too much! I have been there before where the red toolbox they use to fix the wire gets more of a workout than the guns.

Do the ground squirrels still waltz around the backstop on the 25 yd. range while everyone is blasting away? I was always tempted!

Usually about 100. But last time I was at Richmond Rod and Gun Club the wire holding the targets was shot seven times(yes seven) in the two hours I was there. I was only able to shoot about 50 rounds.

Oops! Quoted the wrong post earlier.

My dad and I went through 766 .22LR, 200 12ga skeet loads in 3 1/2 hours at 5 Dogs in Bakersfield on Friday before we were pooped. After discovering .22 plinking this past year to save money, we really don't mind not shooting 9mm & .45 all the time like we used to.

Usually a brick of .22LR (rifle and pistol) and 100-200 centerfire handgun (9mm-.45).

Shotgun days usually 100 12 g max, 200+ .22LR

Back in the handgun competition days I would shoot 300+ centerfire every weekend.

Last trip only 300 .22LR and some misc rifle centerfire.
Depends on the day's activities.

Yes, always save enough ammo to fight your way home.

200+

My last range trip was back in February when you could actually find ammo, and I only have a 9mm so I blew through 250-300 rounds and haven't been able to go shooting since

[rg_1111@yahoo.com]

Around a 100 no that ammo is up. Just got a 1022 so the rounds will go up.

[RickD6023]

I'm in the 150 -200 range unless I'm working on a specific skill with limited range time available then I'm more likely to shoot about 100. I also shoot competitively twice a month and that's good for up to 150 each.

[cassius]

300-600. About half are .22s. Depends on how many firearms I'm taking and how many other folks I'm shooting with. That's about once a month since last summer, when many friends and acquaintances suddenly developed a serious interest in buying firearms.

Back in the day

Back when I could readily buy ammo at Wal Mart I would easily burn through 300 rounds of ammo.

Today I have to be careful, but I'm getting a Dillon 650 set up and if I can get primers, powder and bullets, I will be back in business. Have a few thousand rounds of brass already.

I will probably be shooting more 22 since it generally is more available.

Surprisingly 12 guage ammo is still available.

Depends really. Usually at least 200 but sometimes less.

[GW]

Few hundred per session, inc 22LR

[kazman]

45 session: 150 rounds
AR session: 100-150
Both in same trip: about 200 combined
