I keep track of the rounds fired through most of my rifles, especially the favorites. My 300 is 1100 rds. down the bore this is its 3rd barrel , my .222 9000, my 223 7000, my old .22-250 2800 but this is its 3rd barrel. My Swift has 1300, and my .22-250 AI 3000. it is simple to keep a tally of rds fired. Right now the AI;s accuracy if falling off. I have a new barrel blank, looking for a smith to instale it.
As far as totals, I have kept a journal since I was 14 or 15. Ted Trueblood wrote a little essay about the fun of keeping a journal of outdoor activities. It is great. Memories come flooding back when I read about my trips from 60 years ago and a bit more. Things come back to life. As far as shooting game and fishing, those are entered into the journal. The only thing I can say, if you remember every deer you ever shot, you either have a photograhic memory or haven't shot many deer.
It has been a good life, and as I get older, those journals are wonderful.
