[QUOTE="blvette75, post: 3054072, member: 72440"] Well when I was young I was shooting a 300-win mag with no brake or bi-pod, I used to sight in at 400 yards off my backpack or from the ground, and I would stop after 30-40 rounds. I knew if I kept going my shooting would probably degrade. Plus didn't want to burn that much ammo. Now that I am older when I go to the range I typically I take a few rifles because it is over an hour a way to shoot past 100 yards. So I take a 375 Ruger, 338-win mag, 300-win mag, to verify zero, would shoot 15 rounds of each, 5 at 100, 5 at 200 and 5 at 300 yards for each rifle. I may shoot more depending on how I feel, knowing I need to shoot the Ruger more, to get some practice in. But sometimes I just don't at my age. All my guns run brakes now, shoot off of bipods or tripods a rear bag when applicable(off a bench). I still feel it in my bad neck after a magnum session. Now with my 2 Creedmoor's and my 7 PRC when I take them, I will shoot more rounds with them. I still do not shoot more than 60-70 rounds. A 100 rounds is the most I have ever shot a Creedmoor in a session. My 223/5.56 I can shoot a lot more for fun but don't consider this a big game rifle.
