12,000 pellets is not so much. I have over 15,000 JSB King Heavies in .25 alone plus molds and several hundred pounds of lead for .25 to .457 bullets as well.
I burn through a can of heavies at the rate of about 1 or 2 per week.

Just jealous. I'm the kind of guy that orders 2000 pellets at a time
As far as what I have spent on airguns in 10 years.... I have no idea. I tend to buy, hold for a few years, then sell for the next shiny thing. Currently, I own a Wildcat in .22, a .22 Mutant shorty, and a 177 HW30s. When you add up scopes, rings, pellets, magazines, doodads, etc. I have $4k in what I have on hand.... at least.

Most hobbies cost a few bucks. Some folks like photography, motorcycles, playing music,, hunting, fishing (boats), cars etc.
I've been involved with air guns since 2010, three guns, scopes, bipod, accessories, probably about a total of 2 K, they are Marauders, one in each caliber, thank God they are all accurate.
Two scuba tanks, 1 scba, and my biggest purchase, my Daystate 2 compressor, so about another 4100 dollars, so that is a total of about 6100 dollars and nothing exotic, but good guns and a great compressor.
20 yard range in the basement and 30 acres outside, so i try and shoot some every day.
Just keep it all in perspective, taking care of the family, and enjoy a few things in life, the clock keeps ticking so do the things that make you and your family happy.,
At 71, I am extremely thankful for my health and being able to make my family happy and enjoy a few hobbies (music motorcycles and guns)

Willie - Haven't taken time to cook in the Dutch for some time. Other things in life took precedence for a while. Wife was in an accident and taking of father (over 90 years old) Hoping to crank the Dutch up again this summer.
Aired up my pistol (Crosman 1701P) last night for a trip to the range later this week. Friends from work want to have an "Offsite" activity, so we will meet for lunch at the range. I really like those kind of activities.
Here's a hobby that can really get out of hand though. Inventoried stuff last night. (Yeah, I know this is a small list compared to some, but just the same.....)
Marauder .22
Crosman 1701P Pistol
Beeman P17 Single Stroke pistol
5 Springers
Old BB gun
Air Tank and related stuff
High pressure pump
Somewhere between 500 and 10000 pellets of various sizes and calibers
Chrony
Laser bore sighters
Multiple scopes of various quality
safety gear
And the list goes on.
Then you add powder burners to the list, yes, I've spent a couple bucks on the hobby.
Was saving for an Impact, but with the release of the Crown, I think I'll save for one of those in .22 along with the .25 and .30 barrels just to complete the system.
hard to believe how much fun this has been and will be!
