[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1077631, member: 30902"] Going to vary dramatically depending on what I'm shooting and why. Checking zero? 3 rounds, five minutes range time. Shooting turtles? 1-3 hours of fun with the Ruger 10/22. Maybe a hundred rounds fired. Zeroing a scope? No more than 20, no more than an hour. If it's not zeroed by then something is wrong. Plinking with one of the AR's? Unlimited except by how much ammo I can carry. Same with prairie dog hunting. Working up a load? Generally no more than 10-20 rounds per rifle, maybe 2 hrs at the range. Verifying drops? 10-12 rounds but because of the distances to targets may take 3 hours or more depending on where I am. Shooting the Muzzle loader trying to find the right bullet/sabot/load combo? 50-100 rounds if I have the time and maybe as much as 4 hours. So many variables in these equations and so many different types of shooting it's really very hard to be any more accurate. [/QUOTE]
