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.
Last night
1,000 to 2,500 per month.
Last night, primer, powder and bullets in prep'ed/primed 45 brass; 180 were loaded.
How often to you reload per month? ~5
When did you last reload? Yesterday
How many rounds per session/month? 20-100 per session
When was the last reloading session and how many of many of what got done? Yesterday afternoon - reloaded 50 rounds of .44 Special
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
Last month
16-1800/session/month
Last month; 2,000 40S&W, 1600 .30 carbine, 550 .357 Sig
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. [;)]
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.
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.

Exactly!
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.
W.D.
Last night
One hundred rounds of .38 wad cutters.
Last Saturday, I loaded two hundred rounds of 20 ga.
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.

+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.
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.
How often to you reload per month? when I need to
When did you last reload? when I needed to
How many rounds per session/month? typically 500 or 1000 rds per session
When was the last reloading session and how many of many of what got done?
1000rds .40S&W...CCI 500 primer, 165gr Berrys PFP(plated flat point), 5.5 grains Unique, 1.120 OAL....love this load in my G27 and G22....I run a RCBS single stage press and a Lyman 55 powder drop so this took me most of a day start to finish
Today I cast ~500 SWC's.
All part of reloading.[:D]
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 still have 87 FULL SETS OF DIES, I am now trying to Retire, after 60yrs. of Shooting and reloading.

I can identify with that notion for certain! [:0] [;)] [^]
This was full today.
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.
