Watching Letterman blow up that huge pumpkin in another thread and the comment, 'not enough fire', made me wonder how much ammo was used at the Pumpkin shoot?

I was kinda busy with things other than shooting but I did expend about 100 rounds.

How about we take a count of those that were there and how much you used?


The official count:

Pilgrim 100 rnds
Mr Twigg 530
dreppucci 200
Flotter390 450
SR & guest 105
Dirtypacman 280
EddieCoyle 511
Goose 290
Jonj 350
derek 250
reinbeau 126
milsurps4me 240
Jaxon 164
Rockrivr1 659 -----> 4255 rounds total to this point
K-dub 200
BigDaddy 775 -------.> 5230
Weerd 200 --------->5430

Hmmm, I spent more time yakking than I did shootin' but...
12ga slugs 30 rounds
12ga 00Buck 30 rounds
7.62X54 120 rounds
.40S&W 350 rounds

...and one heckofa great time shootin' it I might say too ! [smile]
 
Hmmm... I honestly didn't shoot too much because of my hand. Maybe about 30 rounds on pistol and then another 25 rounds total trying out other people's guns.

I think Patrick probably shot about 50 rounds. So for the two of us count about 105 total. [thinking]
 
Gee... makes me sorry we didn't think about round count at the Destroy a Car shoot. I'm sure it was up in 5 digits, though. [devil2]
 
Hmmm....I know I went through 100 rounds n my G23, I think roughly 25 through the .45, 1 500 (thanx, Eddie and Scott!) and something else - can't remember, but it was all a blast! [grin]

I too was doing more talking than shooting but I'd say rough estimate would be 80 rounds of Ruger .204, 60 rounds of 7.62x54, and 80 rounds of 7.62x39.
 
I shot the following:

200 rnds of .45
100 rnds of .223
20 rnds of .357
250 rnds of .22lr
70 rnds of 308

Plus an additonal 19 rnds of the 50 bmg ammo.

Total = 659

DAMN!!!
 
I think about 200 rounds of .45, & whatever I used shooting the cool guns (thanks Eddie & BigDaddy).
 
.45acp-About 450 factory, 250 reloads.
12 gauge-25 00 Buck
500 Magnum 50-60

Around 775 rounds between myself and friends (All Y'all are welcome!)

Seeing as we had a 1919 and an M4 yeah!

I know I used around 200 rounds of my own stuff....and maybe 100 of other people's generocity.
