How much ammo do you shoot a month?

[kirk1978]

1...1 shot 1 kill!! Reality = not near enough.

varies 200-500 a month but this month I shot around 20 54cal patch and ball and 10 50 cal sabots!! Man the black powder guns are a hoot. !!

Doesn’t one black powder equal like ten rounds of centerfire?

I shot once last year, but it was so loud, I had to go to my safe space.

Equal in what way? Not sure where you are going with the question.

I was just commenting that you could get about ten rounds off while someone reloaded a black powder.

LOL yes, I have a couple Ak's you could definitely empty a mag, but having said that, one of the guys I work around on occasion is a BP nut case and he has loading down to an art!! And that is on the boomsticks. Couple of his revolvers have cylinders that he can switch out pretty quick and he practices ................ a lot LOL. I cannot remember if his BP revolvers are 36 cal or 44, but either way he knows the pistols well and at self defense ranges and further out his hip shooting is deadly accurate!!

Averaged 4K a month last year. This year has been less than half that.

I was talking to my wife’s uncle this past weekend and the question came up. He doesn’t shoot much anymore. None to maybe s box.

I probably go through close to 5 or 6 hundred on a normal month and have shot maybe 1500 to 2000 rounds in a month.

Do any of you shoot your guns much?

I don't want to count it and I don't want to know (even if I kinda do)

Probably something around 100 or so. I've fired about 700 since July, though.
