I used to go thru about 1K 9mm a week, just loaded 5K yesterday on my 650. Forgot to count my .22 which is about 500 a month.

Sleep...gone.
Free time...gone.
Gun budget...gone.
Hair...gone.


Worth it...absolutely.

LOL! So true.

What I used to shoot a month I shoot in a year now. I manage to get to the range maybe every other month...

Thank god man, I thought we would have to have "the talk".

Since I started reloading I haven't noticed the price fluctuations in factory ammo. I guess I better start paying attention. You're not the first one who brought this up.

I see it mostly in rifle ammo though, I reload pistol so I dont worry much about that one unless I need it for a class then I take the hit and order to save me from reload a bunch in a hurry.

Its mostly the reason why I made the switch to 5.45, hard to beat training with it eventhough the initial investment SUCKED. Even that ammo that is corrosive and not as "wanted" is started to thin out, just purchased 5400 rounds of it a couple of days ago and I hope to get at least 6k more in a couple of weeks that way I can continue to shoot without worries.

Shotgun ammo went up about $15 per 250, 22LR ammo went up about $4 for bulk ammo as well

Yay, I'm not entirely crazy!

Or at least... not alone.

Where do you throw that much lead at! My problem is not time to shoot, it is close places to shoot. I was shooting a lot at Diamond Training center, but I figured out that was the cause of my nasty cough that continued after I quit smoking...

My wife shoots more than a lot of the respondents, I bet she gets 3k down range a year... I probably double or triple that, but I get it in bursts, I might shoot a couple K in a week, then go a month without getting out, make a quick 2-300 round range trip, take a couple weeks off, etc.

I'm too ashamed to post ---- no way I can stack up against the member who shoots 60 rounds / year.

 

[ericlosh]

I think i do 2k-3k rounds a year. I get a much as i can afford to shoot so i have no real way of knowing since what i buy varies drastically. IE: here in may i should be going through about 1k of ammo. I may be more 3k-4k

With classes and general range time, I have shot more this year (aprox. 3000 5.56, 1200 .45/9mm) so far, than in the past few years combined. Hoping to get in at least one or two more courses this year.

 

[Armnhammer]

15,000 but mostly .22 and some 9mm and .223. But I live in the country and can shoot in my back yard. about to start reloading my own ammo.

I drive just shy of 3 hours, round trip, every Friday.

And then at least 2 more every Sunday-- provided we're not out of state, that is.
