How many rounds do you load typically in a batch?
How many rounds do you load typically in a month's time?
I do my case prep and put the shells in plastic jugs ready for primer, powder and bullet.
I might load 50-100 of the same load at one time.
I load and shoot on average about 300 rounds a month.
I used to load and shoot closer to 500 per month a while back but the recession as made me cut-back on a some trips to the shooting range.
How about you? 8) 8)

If it is a load that i have already tested and like, I try to load 100 rounds at a time...........or multiples of 100.

during the week i will prep the brass and have the brass primed. Then on Friday and/or Saturday nights, I will load them.

if i'm working up a load, i'll usually do them in batches of 50 with multiple loads in that 50.

When i was improving the most i was putting 150-200 (over two days) centerfire rounds down range a weekend. on average I made it out 3 weekends a month, so 450 to 600 centerfire rounds.

However, with the new job and moving, I really haven't shot much over the last year. I just recently moved all my firearms and reloading equipment to my new residence and the hours i'm putting in on the new job are cutting in on my "me time" as well as the time available to reload.

come October, i plan to begin fixing this issue.
 
I load 150-300 rounds per week, which is how much I shoot, usually. I pretty much shoot what I load each week. Occasionally, I have 2 range trips. I do brass prep and priming making a week's batch up and then hit the bench for an hour or two for a couple of evenings.
 
I normally load 500-1000 rounds or so a time in my regularly shot revolver calibers. I try to keep most of my brass loaded.

I cast my own bullets and being a rather worn "Certified Old Fart" I generally just cast one pot of bullets at a time. That amounts to 21# of finished bullets. I size them within the next day or so. Sometimes I'll cast several days in a row - run a pot then do something else.

My goal is to maintain around 10,000 cast bullets on my shelves at any one time. Sometimes I get above this sometimes a bit below.

FWIW

Single stage reloader currently. About 500 a month in batches of 100 with the occasional 50 or 25 round batches during load development.

It depends on how much I shoot, but I normally reload pistol rounds in 500 round batches. Lately, I have been shooting a LOT more .22s, as it cost so much to replace the centerfire rounds.
 
Some of my favorite loads I will set my Dillon up and load a 1000 rounds at a time. On other loads I might load a few hundred rounds at a time.
 
Money has beome scarce. I'm down to reloading and shooting about 200 rds per month. The rest of my shooting is .22's. I load in batches of 100 for handgun and 50 for rifle.
 
I shoot around 200-400 rounds of 9mm a month and usually reload in batches of 200 rounds. Usually shoot about 500-600 rounds in the .22s (rifle and pistol) per month for bugetary reasons.
 
I usually load around 100 rounds at a time. I just loaded 500 rounds for my 30 carbine blackhawks yesterday. I like to keep at least 500 rounds of each caliber on hand some calibers I have 5000 for loaded and ready to go. it just depends on how much I like to shoot ceartin ones. The 22's see a lot of use these days with the price of components these days. Talk about the good old days. I bought powder for $6.00 per lb and sierra bullets for like $2.50 per hundred when I started loading years ago. Then I shot a marlin 30-30 like most people shoot 22's. It was nothing to shoot it 100 rounds a day. With 22's I sometimes shoot 500 rounds a day depending on where I go.
