How many rounds do you usually fire when you get to the range. I normally do 50 at 25 yards. Thinking about doing more as I have a few hundred cast bullets to use up before casting more.mostly 357 or 38s..love my Rossi 92 lever rifle.

I usually take 2 to 3 guns and fire 150 rounds at various ranges. If I take a 22 I usually fire more than 150 rounds
I very much enjoy shooting my various .22 LR pistols ... .22LR Merit 1911 adapter, Ruger Standard Auto, S&W 18-2. I generally limit myself to about 300 rounds for a range trip. Sometimes I also shoot my 9mm .. P-226 Legion. Occasionally I have enough .45 ACP to do some shooting. When I do, I enjoy shooting it in my S&W 625-2. With full moon clips, that revolver is just about unbeatable for hitting anything that needs to be hit with a bullet. Sincerely. bruce.

I usually taken several rifles and handguns to my range. And enough ammo for all to shoot till I'm tired or ready to go home.

No, just magazine fed guns. 5.56 goes especially fast. Less time swapping mags = more time shooting.
And I have a lot of magazines. I don't like to reload at the range.

I'm an old man. At times, I can barely stand up. At the indoor ranges, I last an hour before I am just wasting ammo... which is good because they bill by the hour. I typically bring 3 or 4 handguns. They fit nicely into my light Plano 4-gun plastic case. It would be pretty rare for me to go through more than 100-150 centerfire rounds. Really depends on what I am shooting.
Going to a club with drive-up outdoor ranges is a whole 'nother matter. Whatever fits in my mini-SUV is what comes along. But again, I don't like to waste ammo... so once my accuracy starts to go to Hell, I stop. I'm not there just to make noise.

Oh, a hundred to two hundred, depending on what I'm shooting. I'm an old man too, and my back hurts, so I take along my wife's old "high performance walker." Gives me a buggy to carry my range stuff, and a seat for when I'm loading magazines and such. Best idea I ever had.
Revolvers I usually load five rounds. Ten rows of five rounds. One box. Semi-'s I mostly shoot my reloads, which I measure by the handful into a Tupperware box for the trip. Then I count them fired by the magazine. This mag holds 9 rounds, I loaded it four times...that's 36...maybe 40 depending on rather I chambered and topped off or not. And so on depending on how many guns I bought with me.
