When i was finding the most consistent slugs, tuning, and fighting a self induced issue. Sometimes 200 per day. Now that it's dialed 0-250/mo.

With the ground squirrel population right now. Shooting well over 500 rounds in a month.

same experience here while tuning. now i shoot about 600-800 between .25 and .22

that number is about to go up now that i just got a .177

I wish that was my problem lol.

Highly variable for me, for same reason already stated. When it's prairie dog season I'll shoot 600-900 (2-3 boxes) a month. And that sometimes only represents 3-4 outings.

I don’t kill 250 of anything I hunt in one month. And I also don’t miss anything 250 times a month. Testing is a different story. But still not a ton of slugs.

i dont know how some people can go for weeks at a time without shooting.
i shoot one or all of my airguns almost every day of the week.

1500+ A WEEK ( .177 ) generally 13 gr but will also do the even better flying 16 gr

I'm looking for a 177 for similar reasons too.

I just started again. Before I got the Mrod a few weeks ago, I hadn't pulled a trigger since 2003!

I haven't tried slugs...yet. Since I used to specialize in long range (1,000m), I fear a slug-PCP is in my future...

The question is how many do you shoot a month while hunting. You shoot 1,500 a week hunting? Are you hunting insects?

 

[Peashooter]

I was wondering why people was talking hunting, seem like i have again been struck by selective reading.
But yes insects is by far the things i shoot at the most, but that is at most 15% or so of my shots during summer.

Loving the nsa 12.5 in Rti prophet performance compact. Still 16 fpe @ 100 yds. Fantastic pesting and target shooting slug. At least 500+ per month.

Considering that using them brings no discernable additional joy to my shooting experience, I probably use 100s of pellets per every slug used.

The economies of air and ammo dictates it to be so.

The exception will be my big bores of course.
