Someone's got a problem....
Since I started tracking October last year, I have used/fired:
230 rounds .308/7.62x51
810 rounds .300 BO
1820 rounds .223/5.56
550 rounds 7.62x39
3200 rounds 9mm luger
385 rounds 5.7x28
120 rounds .45 ACP
250 rounds .357 mag
320 rounds .38 spcl
1100 rounds .22LR
96 rounds 12ga
68 rounds 20ga
When I say "I have fired" that is myself and my family/friends have fired from my personal stash.
I knew I was a nut...just didn't know how big a nut.
Good thing I got that reloading press so I could "save money" on ammo
alta:
I stopped tracking exact numbers after I had a few handguns hit 5000 rounds each. Now it’s just a guesstimate. I suppose I could total things up based on receipts, reloadings and old inventory numbers. But it isn’t worth it. Springs get replaced when I notice a difference, but they are in stock in case I need them sooner. Way back when I’d clean everything till it was spotless after each range trip. Now it’s every 2-3 trips. My carry piece and things that won’t see the light of day for another 12 months get cleaned after each trip though.
Mickstix:
Good grief Rich. Over 6k rounds in a year? I'd say something funny, but that's actually damn impressive, imo! :hearts:
I expect nothing less from Alta. :snicker: So, about this "carry piece".. How uptight are they in Va. about giving out carry permits? Never crossed my mind when I lived there.

I did have help from my boys, but yeah, I was surprised when I actually looked at the volume. Now I know why I can't afford a vacation.
Well back when YOU lived in VA, your Sheriff would chisel your initials into a stone for your permit, but concealing a flintlock is kind of tough :raspberry:
Seriously though, VA used to be really easy and it varied by county - just file some paperwork in your county and the county would issue you one in a few weeks (unless you lived in a communist county like Fairfax or city of Richmond)
Now you have to have taken a CWP class and provide paperwork, get fingerprinted and so on. When I did my most recent CWP, I went ahead and got the VA one and one issued from UTAH - because UTAH has the most reciprocally accepted CWP in the country. (UTAH permit is recognized in more states than any other CWP) You do have to file more paperwork, including a photo for the UTAH one (which is why I think it is the most recognized - cause you have to provide a photo id, fingerprints and such to get one.
Virginia is an open carry state though. You can carry a sidearm legally without a CWP (if it is not concealed). Kinda wigs people out though. I see a knucklehead or two at Walmart open carrying now and then.
