    Yep, a little light on the ammo. My wife and one grandson can go thru over 750 rnds of 22 in less than an 2 hours. They love the falling plates and their pistols.

    By that math, I need to bring at least 250 rnds. No, that can't be right.

    I brought 150 in boxes, plus about (12 + 24 + 40 = 76) in magazines and speed strips. So, I need somewhere between 300 and 400, preferably 400. Wow!

    Ok. Maybe 400 IS just a little excessive.

    Once you start trying to hit a target try falling plates if available. Instant gratification. Start out slow and build up speed.

    I buy 22's by the case (5000 rnds)
    Buying by the case will have to wait until I've saved up to buy a 1911. Then . . . .

    Falling plates? Do any ranges have those? Or, do you need your own property?

    Not trying to be a butt or anything, but that's realistic on centerfired pistol cartridges. If I'm just going to the range to shoot, if .22's are involved, there's at least 500 of those with me. If centerfired pistols are involved, at least that much too. If centerfired rifles are involved, add at least 200 to the mix. I may not shoot them all, but I was a boy scout. Be Prepared.

    Now you are beginning to understand why so many of us are into reloading. Common stuff like 9mm is hardly worth it. It pays for itself in a heartbeat for less mainstream stuff.
