You need 4 boxes of ammo just to load all those mags !

The scary part is I actually had more. The less I have to load magazines the more I get to shoot.You need 4 boxes of ammo just to load all those mags !

I only load 5 rds at a time…
Makes me slow down
I was burning thru 300-400 or more rounds a week.
Now I take 200 rds. Load 5 at a time

Anymore we decide the course of fire first and load the guns accordingly. Usually 4 or 5 targets. 2 or 3 at about 10 yards, one at 100 and one at 200. Something like 2 shots in left target, two shots in middle target, reload, 2 shots in right target, transition to carbine, 2 in paper at 100 and 2 in steel at 200. Or a myriad of other combinations that incorporate, close range, intermediate range with pistol and shotguns, reloads, intermediate and longer range with the ARs. Timed. I almost always lose. The guy I shoot with is pretty good.

@SimonRL and I were burning thru gobs of ammo. He still is.with a mac 10 it shoots that much before you can get off the trigger.
We settled on 5 rounds for normal target shooting.
Drills and courses, we “load em up”

I went to the range last weekend to do a little work and just see how the sights on my new VP9 OR slide were hitting. I went through 50 rounds in about 3 minutes.

Hi,
Noice!! It's been too long since I've shot steel. That's some fun stuff!
Thank you for your indulgence,

Love the sound of ringing steel!
Shooting the .45, my range sessions nowadays run about 200 rounds. Just started adding .38 sessions with my old service revolvers. Having a blast, forgot how much those revolvers are. But the cost of ammo is still ticking me off, I just can't shoot as much as I used to, which was a lot.

There was a time a few years ago I was shooting 400-500 skeet targets a week, and then running a defensive shotgun course. Nowadays it's more like 400 a year total.I still go through

I'm definitely in between those two extremes. Not skeet really, but I'd say probably 1000 shells a month give or take.
