No telling number of rounds spotted, per year. One great thing about spotting, is you still get more rounds fired reading wind, on someone else's ammo. grin

Work sucks....... bang


Actually, I tried to include "0" as the first option for the exact reason you mention, but the poll would not accept it for some reason. Hang in there, I went through some years like that. Hope things turn around for you. cheers


Me too Snake, hope things ease up for you. Work will really stifle a hobby. hang in there buddy !!!

Only because I have too. Working for gun companies it seems I always get sucked into shooting a lot.

I didn't even think about 300blk, 6.8 and 7.62x39 rounds. I'm way over 1000. Probably pushing 1500.

I answered 1-5 because all I’ve done so far this year is check the zero on my .300 WSM - that took 2 shots because it was right where I left it. Hopefully there will be only 2 more shots, one on a mountain goat and one on a pronghorn. Maybe 3 if I see the big deer I’m after. Assuming I do my part of course.

If I use my old .270 or .257 Wby on whitetails the number may go up to 5-10 checking the zero on whichever one I use and/or shooting an occasional hog or coyote.

Last year the number would have been higher (21-50) because I tested several different loads in a couple of rifles getting ready for a sheep hunt.

I shoot about 2500-3000 rounds of ammo just with customer rifles. Add in my rifles with the 6.5, 308 and 300 blk out and other ammo testing I do, and it's a lot also. I'd say an easy 5000-7000 rounds a year. More when I was shooting comps. This is all rifle, not counting any pistol. I don't shoot much pistol, mainly rifle.

Depends on how many animals I plan to kill. Assuming load development is done, usually about 150 per year which includes 30'ish deer, 20'ish aoudad culls, the rest pigs.

I shoot more than 1,000 rounds out of my 6.8 per year hunting pigs, coyotes and raccoons. Well over 1,500 rounds out of my M1 Garand, M1A and M1903A3. Around 300-500 rounds out of a .308 bolt action shooting steel and paper. Lastly 30-40 rounds out of my .270 and 30-06 Deer Rifles. Yea, I spend a huge amount of time reloading and cleaning rifles!

Have to say, this response was the one I was most curious about.

Very interesting, and you too FJG.

Well it all depends on the year. This year I have shot none and that will most likely continue the rest of the year. I miss it very much and cannot wait until cleared to shoot again from the Doctors. Was fondling a few guns tonight and dreaming.

Most years in the past it would have been 250 - 500 counting all my centerfire rifles just having fun shooting and prepping for season.

Last year it was about 200 mostly with the Grendel, that will be the first centerfire I start back with when given the okay to shoot.
