Round count

[Belt Fed]

I know some of you do it, i couldn't even begin to tell you the round count on any gun i have except a few unfired ones and then it may have been fired at the factory.

 

[youngolddude]

Nope.

 

[TEXASforLIFE]

Yes and no

Some i do know how many and others I don't keep up with (mainly in AR's), but do know an estimate. My dad's pre64 264wm I've personally shot over 2,500 rounds based on how many times I've reloaded and not counting how many was shot the 7 years before I started reloading. I don't shoot much ba's.

I can't count that high, only have ten fingers and ten toes.

I keep count of round count, brand as well as grain weight and bullet type on my 1911 and 2011 hand guns. Not sure why.

I have an idea of the number I have fired through my P320 RXP X COMPACT but no idea how many it has fired on it's own. You know the thing......

I have a document that I update after each range trip and then tabulate at the end of the year. I also keep track of what new guns came into the stable each year and which went down the road. It’s interesting to see how many don’t get shot at all over the 12 months.

 

[OldGrunt]

In the last few years with every new firearm purchase, that had been my intention. But by about the second trip to the range with that new firearm, those intentions were forgotten. I'm not that worked up or worried about it.

yes, round count, new factory ammo (gr and bullet type, RN, or Hollow point, etc), or my reloads, (gr., bullet type such as lead, poly coated or copper coated, OAL, powder brand)

i do this so that i can know when its time to switch out recoil springs or how long any firing pin roll pin will be needing replacing (CZ'S)

all this goes into the "log book" along with cleaning, lube.

 

[Bassbob]

Only to a point. After it gets so high I quit keeping track. Depends on the gun too.

 

[mikep]

I do not keep a log but could get a ballpark figure if pushed.

 

[Belt Fed]

if pushed.

Push...Push.

On recoil springs for my 1911’s, I go by the old rule if it’s 2 coils shorter then a new one, I change it

[Belt Fed]

2 coils shorter

Like taking in a cold shower?

 

[Pitdogg2]

Sometimes I shoot faster than I can count...... it's a curse!

 

[Mr.W.]

Rifle and shotgun=negative.
Pistol=some, depending upon the model.

 

[powerboatr]

only round count i keep is loaded rounds through the dillion by caliber

 

[ddeuce22]

I keep a spreadsheet of all my guns, serial #'s, ammo inventory, and how many rounds have been put through each gun.
Because i'm slightly paranoid I keep it saved on a thumbdrive that's kept in the safe. I don't know. I can't help it.

 

[KillerFord1977]

Kept count back in ‘91 when the P228 went 5000 rounds without a cleaning or issue.
After that, never. That gun is prob excess of 40,000 based on 1000-2000 a month for years back in the 90’s

Hi,

I used to keep a log with round count, targets used, drills performed, training received, etc. Seems it's been a couple of years since I made an entry in my log. I guess I got lazy. I'll just check my range reports here if I need to get caught up.


Thank you for your indulgence,
