As many as I can. Generally between 20-25. Like others, I have every load premeasured and a plan in place of what I'm trying to accomplish (work up new sabot or new projectile etc). I could easily shoot more but I run out of time.

Today on my range I shot off 20 rounds from my Lyman Trade rifle flintlock and 15 rounds from my Knight Wolverine LK-II.

Depending on the weather and the time of day I have been know to take three rifle out. It is not uncommon for me to shoot 40 rounds or more.

Usually get close to 40 rounds - realy depends on the objective of the mission.... i do not het to shoot at a range - so I usually shoot paper for awhile then clay pigeons - maybe rocks set on stumps - all at various ranges - I like shooting smething that breaks - paper gets old in a hurry...

Last time out I think I shot a total of 13 rounds, time before that it wasaround 30. Partly depends upon what I'm trying to accomplish (if anything ). Used to shoot a lot more and more often. Used to do a lot of things... [X(]

20 most of the time. 10 some times. More than 20 hurts my shoulder. Chap gleason

If m/l only 30-40. with a couple of rifles. Over 100 if I also bring a highpower rifle. That is unless I am doing final sight in. I try to shoot only what I need to after I settle on a round I am using for the year.
