Lol I wish I could afford 500 an outing :/
Here is what we shot off in one AFTERNOON:
3,000 rounds .223 Rem
2,300 rounds 7.62x39
2,000 rounds 9x19
1,400 rounds .45ACP
1,000 rounds .40S&W
1,000 rounds .22LR (2 boxes of 500 ea)
500 rounds 12-ga (assorted, birdshot and sabot slug)
150 rounds .44 Magnum
12 of the 1/2 pound Tannerite exploding targets
And there were only 5 guys shooting! All but the .22LR and the 12-ga ammo was reloaded ammo. My buddies pay me for materials + labor, I reload, we go out and (literally) have a BLAST!
If you shoot a lot of pistol/rifle ammo, and you have time on your hands (like weekends and such), and have the mindset for strict attention to detail, then you may want to look into reloading. Besides, when SHTF, what'll you do when you're out of ammo and the zombies will come back at sunset?
