How Many Rounds Per Range Trip?

[Moe Zambeak 53]

Hi all!

 

I have been reading through some posts here, and it seems like I might be abusing my S-12's a little. Whenever I bring them to the range, I usually run about 400 rounds between the two of them. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Overall I would say 400 is an accurate average.

 

How 'bout you guys? How many rounds do you normally go through in a range session?

 

[Nailbomb 10,221]

~300

[TO THE FLOOR IN A 63 121]

~200

I usually buy 200 rounds or so of birdshot for clays, then 50ish of slugs/buckshot for blowin' shit up.

 

You shouldn't feel bad about shooting your saiga's. Do you feel bad about driving your car too much?

[Paulyski 2,227]

A lot.

As much as I can afford when I go out.

 

12 gauge has become my crack.

The Saiga-12 is my pipe.

Last time I literally smoked my pipe.

 

The Duplicolor high temp engine enamel that I put on it temporarily til I get it just how I want it was melting. When anything touched the barrel, the paint just peeled off.(Time to stop procrastinating & hot-blue) The wood lower hand guard actually smoked from the inside. (I checked it & it's just charred a touch in 1 spot)

I was testing the drum, & dumping all my mags as fast as I could in succession.

 

That was

90 2 3/4 ,00 buck

90 3" Magnum 00 buck

45 3" magnum slugs

150 high brass #5

100 low brass #6

 

I do feel I spent too much on ammo that day.

Usually, it's a bit less, but this last time I only shot the S-12 for a big mag & drum test.

Usually I put 250 rounds through the Glock & others.

I usually fire ~200 rounds of birdshot, and ~10-25 rounds of buckshot/slugs, depending on what targets I have available.

When I had my AR, I'd dump about 200-300ish rounds per trip. My Glock, I'd only go through about 100rds of Federal ball per trip- defense rounds are getting rediculous, but at least I stayed proficient with it (3" groups at 25yds). My friends S12- he'd buy a pack or two of the 100ct Federal birdshot and we'd go through that.

100-200 if I'm shooting clays

 

Otherwise I shoot less 12 gauge and use more of the 5.45..

 

edit: why did answering this open 20 windows to this post on me?

100-150 when I'm into it, but we spend a lot of time at 300 yards with the Drags and 5.45's so there are plenty of trips where I only shoot a mag or two.

So far it sounds like I'm putting them through normal use and abuse. Good to know.

[ChileRelleno 7,071]

~250-350, a couple boxes of bulk crap, a lil of this-n-that (various slug/buck) and a few exotics thrown in for shitz-n-gigglz.

10 different 25 round boxes per case. So 250 rounds, give or take. I found it's easy to bring my gear and a case of ammo. The S12 doesn't get too hot and I have had plenty of fun by that point.

400? I would have thought Moe's number would be divisible by three. 2 in the chest, 1 in the head, Mozambique, times however many targets.

LOL!

 

I guess you caught me slipping! I'm glad someone caught on to my screen name

[SaigaNoobie 66]

Between 200 and 500 a trip. I love my shotgun

[rugerglocker 2]

2 days ago about 600 birdshot, me and 8 buddies spent $300 cleaned out the walmart and shot it all that day.

[BruisedShoulder 7]

100-250 rounds
