its a simple question,,,,,how many rounds of ammunition have you personally gone thru this year? i know that it might be hard for some to figure but including everything its really not all that hard to figure out. now dont feel like you need to impress the fine folks here online with some kind of rediculous figure as it really isnt what i was looking for. i know that a decent estimate is gonna be the best i will get,,,,there might only be a couple folks who actually keep count. if you want you can separate rimfire and shotgun and centerfire and pistol,,,i can add them up,,,,,yes i am writeing a book

A quick estimate i'd have to say around 3k centerfire pistol (factory and reloads,.45, .380, 9mm, 40S&W), maybe 800 22LR (can't find anymore at decent prices :() and maybe pushing 600 12 GA.

Between sighting in new scopes and red dots, sporting clays and hunting.

12ga. 600

20ga. 600

.223 400

7mm-08 50

.308 25

.45 120

I have never kept any kind of account on the number of rounds I fire. I can only guess and give an approximate number. I have gone to the range 16 times this year according to the calendar and I usually go through 100 to 200 rounds. That always includes some rim fire and then a mix of different center fire handgun calibers. I shoot no center fire rifle any more. So let's say some where around 3000 rounds so far this year.

The only rounds I've kept track of is for my 1911 which is just over 600. But from most to least by caliber:

45 ACP (2 pistols)
9mm (2 pistols)
40 S&W
38 spcl
22 LR (pistol)
.223 (AR)
380 Auto
22 LR (rifle)
357 (can't find brass so I don't have much to shoot)
270 Win

These are just estimates according to my log book.

.40s&w = 9,500
9mm = 3,150
.223 = 2,500
.38spl = 1,100 (wife)
7mm RM = 150
.300wm = 120
12ga = 800 (factory ammo 8 rounds of sporting clays)

I plan to shoot 9mm more next year in matches, and practice. The money saved over .40s&w bullets will allow me to shoot more.

About 30,000 more or less. We took my 1919A4 full auto out two weeks ago and ran two cases of .30-06 through it. That was 1600 rounds in an afternoon. Same with the M14, almost a full case of 920 there so about 2500 rounds that afternoon. I do this at least twice a month and sometimes shoot more. Plus the other rifle and pistol I shoot.

Couldn't give you a decent estimate. My range is on my property, so I just step out and shoot when I want to. Deer season for bow is open now, so I'm not doing any shooting in consideration of my hunting neighbors, until after deer season. If I had to guess, maybe 2,000 rounds of .44, and .45, and probably about the same for .22, and 7.62X39. A few .38's, some .380, and 12 gauge shot shells.

Too many! I buy the ammo when I bring newbies to the range, and burn up a lot of my stash. But it is worth it, as they cannot help but convert to the gun mindset. Last guy I brought just purchased his first ( his words, not mine! ) of many pistols, a Ruger 9mm. His girlfriend wants an Airweight revolver.
