How many rounds do you typically reload?

[bigchinner]

Hi all. I've been reloading for about 15 years and sometimes I run low on ammo when I don't expect it. I normally shoot around 100 to 200 rds during a visit to the local ranges. How many rds. do you reload during a reloading session? Of course, when you aren't interrupted by kids, wife, chores, etc.
I was thinking of reloading all my 9mm stuff right now with one type of bullethead and powder. Only about 2000 rds but I have some new stuff stored away too.

At least 500 rounds per caliber.

When I'm reloading for myself, I reload for a specific purpose. I don't plink, so I'll load 60 rounds for a long range match, 12- 30 rounds for test loads, 40 rounds of hunting ammunition, etc.

If I'm reloading for the kids then it's 300-400, 223s or 40s at a time. All my kids shot ARs and 40 S&W handguns.

with the progressive it is 1000 minimum at a time

I shoot a lot, so do my sons. For myself I try to keep 250 rounds each for each handgun caliber that i shoot.

For rifles it is 100 rounds for each caliber.

I reload anywhere from 100 to 500 rounds per month, depending on time of year, availability of supplies, etc.

Right now my kids are busy with new girlfriends/new jobs/etc. so the demands on my ammo locker has dropped.

I'll normally excape out to the garage 2-3 times a week for 30 mins at a time. I can churn out about 100 in 25 mins or so. That covers my usual weekly expenditure. If im doing some serious training that weekend then I will just sit down and pump out 500 or so. Big weekend for me is about 500 300blk and 1000 45acp. Pretty easy for me to knock out on my cheapy Lee Turret.

+1 same for me

[MrElectric03]

For pistol usually 200-400 at a time and anything on the single stage is 50-100 rounds at a time. I'm still finding my pet loads and once I do will load a bunch at a time. So far I'm only set on a .357 load, the rest are all up in the air.

I have a 650 with a Mr. Bulletfeeder and case feeder.. I even have a vibra prime to fill my primer tubes.. Essentially all I need to do is feed it brass, bullets and primers, then pull the handle. I rarely touch any of components anymore... In spite of all this, I typically only have enough patience to get about 200-300 rounds cranked out.. I'm getting old or something..

[enzo357]

Have a 650 as well. Just spend about 15 minutes and make 200 pistol rounds. Take them to the range and shoot them.

I have an RL 550 and run about 200 to 300 rds. but this is my first time using titegroup. I am wondering if I should just reload all my 9mm with it but hesitant because I've never used it before. I use win 231 mostly. If it doesn't burn well or if I don't use enough or too much powder. I'm starting at 4.1 to 4.2. Max is 4.8grs. If I load everything one way and don't like it, I can't turn back. At least with win231 I know what to expect.

[Jeep67cj5]

500 at one sitting

[chiliman21]

I'm good for about 500 in a sitting. Have a Lee turret and I'm just done after about 500. I have 4k case primed and ready. Just need time.

I'm running 124gr plated and 3.9gr of Titegroup at 1.125 in a G19. Haven't skipped a beat in about 1000 rounds. No chrono data for ya though.


And to answer the OP, it depends. I could load up a few hundred pistol rounds or a handful of .308 in an evening.

Let's say

200-300 9mm
100-200 .223
20-60 .308

I'm slow. I only reload about 150rd per sitting on a single stage rcbs. After that I start to get sleepy/sloppy/bleh. I just divide into multiple days.
