Just curious how many rounds guys typically go through on a day at the range with a precision rifle? I probably average around 80 to a 100 give or take.
 
80-120 depending on the caliber and what’s going on. Is it hot as crap and I’m just there to play or is it a nice day and I want to work on something specific. It just all depends. If it’s the 5.56 SPR the rounds flow. Way too fast. That’s more like 200-250.

Boy. One can burn up rounds with a gas gun with no recoil.
 
I average about a 50 round box a day. Live on an acreage in the middle of no where with 100 yard range off my deck and 900 yard range a 1/4 mile down the road. At least 3 days a week I switch it up and throw in some pistol. When the weather is shitty I dry fire as much as I can off barricades and run mag change drills on pistol. I try and shoot the 20 inch ar as much as I can to practice wind reading but after a while I get bored and want to smack steal with something heavier
 
ive tried to cut my round count back in the center fire to try and increase barrel life a little so ive only been shooting 10-20 rounds at each practice session and then running 200 or so through the vudoo.
 
I get limited time to actually shoot. Ill stop at the range on the way home from work. I end up shooting fewer rounds but may go two or three times a week.

A typical week would be two one hour sessions of 20 rounds each.
 
Depends on the purpose of each trip.
Could be anywhere from 20 - 200. Some days are strictly load development, others for fine tuning scope and others to shoot different firearms that have not been out recently. Also, how much time I have budgeted that day for shooting.
