I definitely don't shoot as much as I'd like to.
Back in High School and College (long, long time ago) I was on Rifle Teams and in Leagues and shot every day.
Ever since, my work schedule has kept me much too busy for that.
Last year I shot my .22 all summer long, about once a week.
I also shot my 30-06 about every other week out to 450 yards so I got very comfortable out to that distance.
This year I will try to do all of that again, and maybe get out a little more often.

I sure you reload. What setup are you using?
For my pistol & cowboy action (.38 & .45 Long Colt) I use a RCBS turret with extra turrets set up for each caliber. I can load around 200 rounds/hour. Mec 600 jr for shotgun & RCBS Rock Chuker for all my bottleneck rifle stuff. I also have one of the big electronic RCBS powder measurers that has all my powder charges in it's memory. The slowest reloading in my cowboy action shotgun. I load full brass cases on another Rock Chuker. They get sized & primed. I manually dump the black powder with a Lee dipper and insert wads. Seat wads on the Mec, add an over shot wag and the glue it in place. It is slow, but I only use about 40 per match.

I did post a picture on the reloading bench thread.

Not nearly enough unfortunately. I have 2 ranges near my town the outdoor one goes to 200 and the indoor one goes to 100.

Throughout the year I put several hundred rounds through my pistols and .22 rifle. My hunting rifle is a different story. I have been using the same one for nearly 40 years and only shoot it to make sure the scope is still on mark. I've never had a problem with the original 1980 Leupold scope holding zero.

Wow that?s a lot. I don?t even come close to that. I stopped reloading a few years ago and the ammo I shoot is $57 a box so I try to keep it down to a couple boxes each time out.
I have a lot of ammo on hand and enough primers and powder to keep me going for years. I was one of those hoarders during O'Bama's reign!
