I think you will find it varies a bunch. Most local IDPA club matches require about 150 rounds +/-. Major matches sometimes more. If you plan on 150-200 you should be good. Unless of course you have the impulse to use up all your mags on vickers stages which isn't recommended.
The club level IDPA matches I've been to so far have been around 75 or so. I'd budget 100 rounds per club IDPA match. Larger matches will be more. I believe USPSA tends to have higher round counts.
100 to 150 for a typical match, but you should always bring extra in the event of a re-shoot. I always bring 200. You'll need 20 to 40 extra rounds on your belt for the last stage.
Depending on division - bring at least 4 mags, 6 if you have them.
If you are just getting into IDPA or USPSA, Harvard runs a weekly wed night practice. Its alot of fun and a good way to learn the rules and procedures, plus they are very helpful to new shooters
Well carry a couple hundred rounds of extra .45ACP from pit to pit on a scorching summer day... I'd say that would suck... or I could leave it in the car.
