Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles How many rounds do you load up???

I tend to load in batches of 50.

Big game rifles I keep 40 rounds ready to go. I have several hundred at any one time for my M1's M14's and AR's. When components are available I have ammo cans with 1000 rounds each of 9mm 40 and 45 ACP. Trap loads for my Krighoff number 500 before a match.

Depending on the caliber like most have said..
My favorite big game rifles, I usually load in lots of 50 rds.. Except for a couple loads I have used for many years, I often try new bullets or powders, so 50 is enough for those..
For my big .22's usually a couple hundred per rifle.. .22-250's and Swifts..
For my .222 and .223, the last few years I have only loaded maybe 500 .223's and a couple hundred .222's.. P. dog shooting went south, so no need for a lot of loads on hand..
Have probably 1000 Hornets loaded with various loads.. Shoot some g. squirrels with this.
.22 mag. probably about 2000 rds..

I tend at 40 or so for anything larger than a 7mm - of hunting loads. I keep 2-750 loaded for each gun at any given time for general shooting purposes. I tend to load in smaller batches mostly because I don't like standing at the loading bench to crank out a thousand. I'd rather do batches of 3-400 a couple of times rather than 1000 all at once. I have a Dillon for major handgun supply but don't use it for anything else.

I usually load in lots of 100 after a rifle load is developed.

I generally load 50 or 100 target or blasting rounds at a time, and 20 or 50 hunting rounds. Really depends upon the cartridge/rifle/time of year.

I do a lot of my loading during the winter when fighting off the shack nasties and occasionally lose control and end up with a few hundred .
