1000 rounds of live fire…

[HiredHand]

Usually go twice a month (every other weekend) and shoot around 250 rounds. Sometimes more, sometimes less. I don't see the point of just shooting 50 rounds on a range trip unless your shooting long range marksmanship. If I were shooting something as expensive as 6.5 Creedmore yeah, but 9mm?

You aren’t limited to shooting 50 rounds at the range. You only get to count 50 of those rounds from each trip towards the 1000 round total. So, for instance a trip to the range every two weeks where you shoot at least 50 rounds would get you to 1k and you’d even have time to take a vacation.

I could shoot two bricks of 22lr on one trip to the range which would be fun and be 1k rounds, but I wouldn’t necessarily get the same benefit that I might get by shooting a minimum of 50 rounds every other week.

Like going to the gym, eating healthy or drinking a cold beverage with buddies… it’s better if you do it consistently.

I guess it doesn't count for round count, but I guage my rifle practice on barrels burnt out per year. It is hard to shoot out a pistol barrel in a year, but I can usually account for one every other year or so, but try as I might I haven't shot out a shotgun barrel.....but I'm trying!

Nice! One of the reloading manuals mentions it not how many rounds you put through a barrel, but how many pounds of powder you put through it that wears one out.

Ah, only counting 50 from each "range" trip would probably have me right at 1000 for the year.

Benefit of having a private range and being able to shoot every weekend the weather permits.

Haha! That’s a good one. I’m in the ammo resellers aka neckbeard guild. I’m trying to create some demand for overpriced ammunition.

Perfect!

So you’re really saying it’s 20 trips to the range shooting at least 50 rounds per trip to reach the magic 1000 rounds.

I’m at 22 trips and 2720 rounds so far this year. Does that mean I have to quit until next year?

Nope. Keep going. It’s not a magic number, it’s just a way of making shooting a regular practice. Ideally, you might walk away a better shooter or you’ll have hade some fun along the way.

Ran out for a quick range session today at the indoor range. The purpose was a verify zero on two guns. I used a paper plate and shot 10 rounds slow fire at 7,10,15 and 25yds.

50/1000 rounds fired for the year and 100 rounds total.

Two things I have learned in this thread:

1. Some of you are way too anal about counting rounds.
2. Those of you counting .22 rounds have even bigger issues...
