How much did you load in 2011?

[bruceflinch]

So how much & what caliber did you reload in 2011. If you're keeping it a secret then & give a ridiculous number.

223, 760 rds
308, 477 rds
30-06, 580 rds
303, 58 rds
Total Rifle 1,875 rds

38 sp 1,583 rds
357 mag 183 rds
9mm 1,703 rds
Total Pistol 3,469 rds

Overall Total 5,344 rds

Far cry from my first year total of 13,000 pistol rounds. But my shooting priorities have changed a bit, as well as my personal economy.
How did you Guys do?

[Bert Gamble]

Not nearly as many as I thought I would. The single stage press takes a lot of time.

.45 500 rounds

[joelogic]

Bruce, how the heck do you track to the individual round? I try and count to the primer tray.

Edit: I typed out how much I reloaded and how much I shot in 2011 and reconsidered posting. But I am sure there are people who easily did more than I. In 2011 I shot several classes and competed in two matches per month.

[Dark Mod]

1500 .30-30
4000 .357 magnum
2000 .223
400 7.62x54r

[BigBronco]

2 K 223
3oo 30-06
750 44 mag
500 .44 special
1.5 K .45 acp
100 7.5X55 Swiss

1.5k .38 special
300 .357 mag Need to make more of these.
100 7.5X55 Swiss

Forgot to load .45 LC I guess I just did not shoot it that much.

[jonc]

ummmmmmmmmmm

none ... i wish i did

[mrlonewolf]

Not enough....

[EL_NinO619]

peeewwwhhh, I would have to get my Data log, I believe its a lot. I keep the 4 presses cooking to keep up with 4 trigger happy fools and other peoples odd calibers... I would guesstimate around 10,000+

[Flyin Brian]

I went through (3) 8lb jugs of powder (rifle) and (5) 1 lb jugs last year (mostly pistol).

If I'm averaging about 46 grains per rifle case, that's about 150 cases per pound, which comes to 3,600 rifle cases. I'd say 1,000 of those were 30-06 and the rest 7.62X54r.

I have no idea how much pistol I loaded but not nearly as much as the rifle.

At around 1,200 rounds per pound with a throw of 6 grains, I'd say you shot more pistol.. 5,000 +or- if you used all 5lbs

[pdq_wizzard]

Based on primers used

SP 4K (9MM, 40, 38 and 357) Mostly 9mm
LP 3K (45acp)
LR 5K (30-06, 243, 22-250 and 30-30) Mostly 06 and 243
SR 4K (.223 only)
209 2k (12ga)

One can burn up ammo at the Rifle Silhouette range

[24Sailor]

I have no clue other than how much powder I went through.

IMR 4064 5# @ 35-50 gr. / charge
Varget 1# @ 43-44 gr. / charge
IMR 4350 3/4#
RL-19 3/4#
W 296 ~4# @ 15.5-24 gr. / charge
2400 1/2#

Bullseye: Well at 3-5 gr. / charge, not much in weight compared to volume of ammo) I bought this stuff over 30 tears ago (Hercules) for $6.00 / pound and I doubt I'll ever need to buy more. Primarily because the calibers I use it in I don't shoot much. And those calibers offer relatively cheap bulk factory ammo. (38 spl. & 9mm). Plus if I take my 9mm out in the woods to shoot I lose most of the brass.

Single stage RCBS Jr. Have a pair of them but only use one at a time.

6.5 grendel 200
.45acp 1000

.460 rowland 5 (experimental rifle only loads)

I disassembled about 500 rounds of various back stock.

[nmerced]

Varget - 6#
H335 - 1#
Accurate 9 - 2#

[krzgoat]

Definitely didn't load as much as I wanted.

1.5K or so of 45ACP
1K of 40 S&W
100 7mm Mag
100 243

Slow reloading year due to other priorities - not as much shooting this year so stocks were never depleted as much. Hope to rectify that this year. New Years resolution goal to get to 3K of common rounds shot in stock at all times. 1K loaded and stored - 1K to shoot from and 1K reserves loaded or not loaded components.
