Pellets and Slugs how many do you use a month?

[CTAirgunner]

When I was shooting 3 to 4 times a week it was usually somewhere about 500 individual projectiles a week.

 

[Madhatter]

Not nearly enough. I'm always doing work around the property. I even have a 100 yard shooting range and I don't think I've used it more than 4-5 in the last 4 years.

I relate to this, except nowhere near 100 yards.

What I want: At least 25-50 shots/day from my 177 and 22s. Maybe extra on the weekend.

What I typically get lately: Maybe 100 rounds/month (but have been able to mix in some .457!)

 

[Dogowski]

Updated pellet and slug usage about 1000 a month.

So my “Accountant” aka Wife was inquiring as to just how much we are going to be spending on pellets this month and it had me wondering how many I usually need. About 1,200 to 1,500 .22 cal JSB pellets covers all the bases for pest control, plinking and hunting.

Okay then, how about you?

As an Air-gunner do you consider yourself a hobbyist, enthusiast or are you a Pro?

Typically where do you buy from and why?

Number of air rifles and air guns including caliber (no make or model please).
Why not the make or model? Because I don’t know about every air rifle ever made, so keep it simple and everyone can follow.

Any other important information?

These questions are just for example answer with what you feel comfortable with. Thanks.

I’d have to just take a guess (I refrain from a shot in the dark ) and say I probably shoot 200-500 pellets a month not counting competitions. That’s between 2 - .177’s soon to be 3. 2 - .22’s, 2 - .25’s and 1 - .357. I shoot the .357 rarely. (Waiting for PA game to get off their duffs and update airgun regulations).

Anyway, I have in my “airgun vault” a covid supply worth of toilet paper in pellets. I buy most of my .22/.25/.357 pellets from The Pellet Shop because Bin has always been a pleasure to do business with. .177 pellets I buy between Pyramid Air and Airgun Revisions because the assortment offered by both are very good for my needs and service has always been very good.

I have added a few Airguns myself since I asked this question over a year ago.

I just put in an order at PA yesterday to replenish and that was 1600 pellets and 300 slugs.

I wanted more .

 

[Madhatter]

No idea how many I shoot a month. I cast all of the.22 and.25 slugs and pellets I shoot. I don't really shoot my .177 guns much at all.

I’m catching up on things in the forum. @CTAirgunner is a great motivator to keep me semi focused on this platform by sending me links to other discussions. I forget to be active basically because I don’t feel like I have much to offer, but here I am reviving this thread . I think the number of pellets shot in a time period is something few give thought to, so it’s an interesting question. Pros will obviously shoot more often and more rounds, but it’s interesting to see how the rest of the ranks compare.

I am just helping you get sucked in , not that you aren't already but I love the discussions here and they are all 99% of the time valuable, especially interesting reads/threads you just happen to stumble upon.

I hope to get back to my 500 a week shot count soon, we will see, hopefully my build performs so that I can.

I am following your Airacuda thread with interest, I have a .25 standard.

I keep going back-and-forth whether to do something with it (modifying) or not because it’s never give me a moments trouble and it’s fairly accurate for what it is.

I put about 60 to 70 UX Brimstone pellets and 20 JSB slugs through it a month.

With my 2 new rifles... I have been shooting far more and now my pellet stock seems dismal. I think I'm seeing 500+/week right now, and still feel like I'm not shooting enough.

Papa you are still in the Honeymoon phase with them , now spend some more money lol.

 

[Jaabaa]

I always pour my pellets out and wipe the The TIN out Top and bottom. If there is this much gunk then I rinse them. Dry in the window and good.
Same brand, different lot, same product can produce different results. The last 4 cans of H&Ns
I had where about the cleanest I've personally had.

Not to mention fingers a little cleaner.

 

[Chief 10-Beers]

When I shoot it's about 80 to 100 a day. Unless I am tethered which "Firewalker" helped me find the parts to do. Then I just shoot until I get tired. lol

Shooting till you’re tired is the life .

Indeed! I'm Retarded..... Oops Retired! lol

 

[Billm]

I’m shooting 1000+ per month right now. Mostly.22 and .25, but some through two of my .177s. Only because it’s helping me through some things and so I’m not just allowed, but encouraged to do it lol.

 

[FL22]

Indeed! I'm Retarded..... Oops Retired! lol

I still have about 14 more years left till I get to not give a about what day of the week it is .

I have a couple of old work buddies that like to harass me, they call me on my days off from time to time and ask if I’m headed out for work, l respond with “No, don’t you know what day of the week it is?!!!”
The answer I get is “No I’m retired, I don’t give a $&@! .

 

[Chief 10-Beers]

Same! However, I need to talk to @Firewalker If He will allow it. I need his help if he will partake in this quest. I done got booted off of A/N so many times I lost count. lol
