Whats your average pistol ammo count for range visit

[Scott_N]

I usually go through 100-150 rounds each of 22 and 9mm, sometimes a cylinder or 2/3 of 44 mag.

I always take 4-5 pistols. Always a 45 of some kind, a couple of 9’s and I always make a point of taking at least 1 prohib. I have bad arthritis in my hands so I load my mags at home the night before. I generally do 50rds per gun. I get to the range for 10am Saturday and am gone by 10:45. I generally have the entire indoor range to myself so I can be in and out quick and carry on with my day. That’s in between cowboy competitions which are every other week and also take a couple hundred rounds.

I typically bring one pistol to the range and work out the kinks. 250 to 500, to the deep end if it's 9mm, less if it's my precious .45 ACP.

It really varies. As little as 20 rounds if I spend more time helping friends and up to 400 if I’m doing a bunch of drills. I shoot both IPSC and IDPA. Pre-Covid, I’d shoot once a week, and go through 10-12k of 9mm a year.

Not only how many rounds you take .......but is there such thing as firing too many rounds through a pistol at one range trip ? I normally shoot anywhere between 150-200 rounds per trip. Always wondered if there was a consensus on an upper limit.

No limit! Don't forget those guns are designed to kill as many people as possible as fast as possible. Blackface and his lackies keep saying anyways...

 

[ruffbird]

I have found shooting 100-125 rounds per session works good for me! Have not been out since March, so will have to go smell some powda soon. Maybe I will pack an extra box....

 

[sixty9santa]

200 per centerfire and minimum 300 per rimfire.

 

[J.Hancock]

Probably average about 400. When I start going more often I intend to streamline my drills and wont be so eager to rapid fire lol.

 

[mactroneng]

I'll usually do 100 rounds for each pistol and typically bring two or three pistols.

Same here, though I normally don't shoot through it all (except 22). If a box has left than 50 in it I'll through in a new box of 100. And 22 is just whatever's in the box of 425, and if it feels like less than 100 I put a new 425 box in the range bag.

 

[macka]

200 9mm and a bunch of 22, mostly use the 22

 

[soldier506]

I would not shoot centerfire often . In the past I would always go though 3/4 boxes of rimefire .22 cal . Way cheaper to shoot and ammo is common to get in area

 

[elusiveshapesandforms]

i'm more of a bullseye shooter,so 150 at best.after that the focus goes down,and the best shots are things of the past.

 

[DoubleTapDiabetus]

I would normally pack my one ammo can with as much 9mm (350) and 22 (couple hundred) each time to the indoor range and would normally come home with a box or two of each. I normally went to the indoor range late at night and had it all to myself once a week, pre covid of course. With young kids it's hard to get away during the daylight hours.

 

[NHunter]

Depends on who's buying ammo....

 

[OldDude]

Depending on what I'm shooting, and how long I have - anywhere from 50 to 250 rouunds.

Same here.

And when I feel weird and bring out the FP, I'll do a sighter target and 60rds match

 

[Curtis264]

200 - 300, unless i am shooting the 50 BMG than the most i take is 20 rounds, my shoulder has had enough at that point

 

[VanIsleCam]

2-3 hundred 9mm

 

[Bart Bandy]

Depends on how much time I have. Minimum 150 and up to 300.

 

[Ruger007]

Cast and load my own. Cost is minimal. Usually 300-350
