Just curious, since I started reloading i'm shooting 1000-1500 rounds a month average(one month I hit 2300). This is what I used to shoot when you could buy factory 9mm for 100 bucks a case. When the price spiked some months I didn't shoot at all. So how bout it?

Used to shoot 3-4K per month but with my business it's gone down considerably. I say I'm shooting about the same as you, 1-1.5K.

I maybe do 700 a month.
All I do is shoot matches anymore. Not really any static "range" practice.

Depends on the season. Winter? not so much. This month I already went through a thousand, at least...but that includes rimfires too. Now that I'm castin' me own boolits, I'll be satisfied with a thousand rnds a month mes o manos considering the cost of powders and primers.

Before our little girl arrived I was shooting about 1,500 per month, after she arrived it dropped a bunch. Now that winter is getting out of the way and she is older I hope to get back up to around 600, then as she gets older (barring any other new arrivals) back to pre-kid levels.

Used to be 2000-3000, I'm lucky to shoot 500-1000, when I can find the time.

Was doin 5-6000 a month, sometimes 10-12k until recently, I'm down to 2500-3000 or so.
Been workin a lot, castin a bit, size an lube, cleanin brass, loadin, plus, it been rainin all da damn time.
But spring is here an I'm gonna spend a lot more time on da range.
Plus, I gotta get ta work on da new (to me) wheel gun I'm gonna get in Tulsa, if I can find one I can afford dat is worth da askin price.
Sometimes dat show jus full a good deals an stuff, other times it all sky high, jus a crap shoot, but still a whole lotta fun even if I don't buy anythang.
Damn Slick!! Shooting like that you'd do well to invest in your own steel bullet trap so you could relaim your own lead.

I went through 12,000 rounds my first year reloading, but that doesn't count a fair amount of rimfire. And winter months cut down on my shooting.

around 1000 unless i all of a sudden have tons of time again....
have shot 900 45acp since last thursday in two brief trips to the range- something about that 1 trigger pull per magazine that speeds up consumption

I'm probably around 500-1000 per month. Less during the winter.

A couple hundred .223
'Bout 300-500 handgun
maybe 100 12-ga
Some months a bit more, some months much less.

That all depends, some weeks I get to shoot 2x a week in the winter months, and then it is only 1X week, I usually have a plan I like to shoot some 22, and then a mix of 9mm and 45ACP. I love my 625's! But, I would say that 2500 rds of centerfire ammo per month, and then 500 of 22. When it gets time to go outside then it gets a mix of handgun and rifle ammo.....just waiting for the frost to come out of the range road.

Approx 500/month of 9mm, around 250/month or so rimfire. That may increase now that ammo doesn't cost me $20/box.

Down in the winter months but I'm usually running about 1,100 .223, 400 .45acp, and 400-500 .40sw. I rarely shoot my .22s anymore.

With 30+ posts a day, you need to get off da computer and get you to the range!

Yeah, it's been a bit slow lately, that will be changing soon.
I haven't shot since the second week of March, but I did launch 1000 rounds downrange. I'll be shooting tomorrow with the esteemed Pitmaster, had this week off, been busy catching up on everything.
Being on the road sucks.

I've shot quite a bit this weekend for me.
Friday-100 rounds with MakeMineAP99
Satruday-125 rounds shooting cowboy
Sunday-100 rounds IDPA
Monday (tonight)-200 rounds. Found a 2 hour tactical instruction class for $12. Went tonight and was the best $12 I've spent in a while.

same here...reloading .40 & .45 and now shooting about 1200 rounds per month (on a slow month).
z-
About 1200 - no rimfire, mostly handgun. Although I'd be screwed if there was a range in town that allowed FMJ rifle...

I've been about 800-1000/month handgun centerfires (mostly 9mm) and about 500/month 22lr. This past month I've been working the night shift and have been going to the indoor range during the day while my wife is working and children at school. I'm well over my average this past month.
