    5 times per month.

    Two days ago.

    fifty to 100 rounds per session. So about 250-500 per month. (I've been shooting a lot lately).

    The last reloading session was 70 .308 Norma Magnum and 50 6mm Rem.

    When I get a chance, sometimes once a month, sometimes once every 6 weeks or so.

    Last reloaded before Christmas.

    Round count varies depending on caliber.

    Last session was 200 .44 mag loads/200 gr LRNFP with 9.0 Unique/WLP

    You folks are definitely great mentors. I have got to get with it! The feedback gives me more to shoot for; thanks!

    Only 2x in the last two weeks. 50 rounds per session = 100 .375 RUM, (new chambering for me).

    I've not been shooting anywhere near enough lately (and had some problems with the rig).

    Deprimed, tumbled and trimmed in excess of 1,000 in this past month. Definitely have got to get more productive. [;)]

    Alan,

    Don't feel like you have to up the quantity to get more enjoyment out of it. Sometimes I load as little as ten rounds for a ladder. That way I'm not wasting cases with a too hot/too cold load.

    Sometimes all I get or need is a 20 Minute break.

    Do as much as you enjoy then stop til next time. Pushing yourself will also cause an accident. This is NOT the hobby you want to have an accident with.

    I will Confess,[:D] I am a binge reloader. When I was shooting Varmint every weekend in the early 80's. I reloaded every night. But now, It's more about rotating stock.

    So now I reload as needed. Some months I shoot more than others. Better way to put it, I keep a level on hand and when it gets to a point, I make more or reload it all. That Could be from 200 to 1000.

    That's pretty much me to. Two weeks ago I got done with 1000 rounds of 45acp for bowling pin match's. 200gr Oregon Trail RNFP over 5gr Bullseye and Win. WLP primer. Just befor that I did 500 rounds of 38 Super for bowling pins. Colorado Blt. Co 125gr TFN over 5grs of Bullseye and Win WSP primer.
    Been taking a break, need to load some more 41 mag and some 250-3000 for spring digger shooting. The big task is shot shells for the upcomming trap season, 2,000 would be a good start. Need to get the ol' Meck out and load some 410 shells, I owe some to a friend and even stooped to buying some last fall for grouse season. Shameful.
    I've about got myself talked into getting busy.

    +1. I tend to reload in the winter months and build up a stock. If I shoot it all up, then I'll make more as needed.

    1. 1-10 times.

    2. The week of Jan 8th

    3. This is the kicker. Might be 20-50 hunting rounds, a bigger batch, 50-500+, of rifle for varmints or AR. Or 1-3k of pistol ammo.

    4. Twice during the week of January 8th. Once for brass prep, once to reload. 40 rounds of 7mm Rem Mag.

    Really varies on how much I'm working and shooting.

    I reload probably eight to ten days a month. Some days I just prep cases. Other days I might prime and load. I generally go to the range twice a month, and go through about 250 rounds of .38spl a trip. So 500 rounds a month keeps me rolling.

    Today I cast ~500 SWC's.

    All part of reloading.[:D]

    I still have 87 FULL SETS OF DIES, I am now trying to Retire, after 60yrs. of Shooting and reloading.
    I have worked on the reloading Bench as much as 20hrs. per Day and 80hrs. a week.
    I have Shipped to all 50 US. States and Canada.
    I now want to Reload Less and Hunt More.

    I don't load on any schedule, nor do I load any specific quantities per session. Sometimes I'll go out and crank out a couple thousand rounds of .38 Special or .45 ACP on the progressive presses. Other times I might just prep cases.

    I am at the bench tinkering with something (sorting/cleaning brass, etc.) several times per week. Last time out was just a couple days ago; I loaded 20 rounds of .308 for a trip to the range the next day.
