how often do you shoot these military rifles and how many rounds roughly

Not as often as I'd like but typically 50 rounds in a session.

Around 25-40 rounds per rifle per session.

At least twice a week 100-200 rnds /session.

I shoot my No1 Mk3 probably once a month, if it's 100-600 yrds then about 30rnds but if indoor at the club 50yrd range probably only 10 or so rnds.

Bisley is a bit of a haul to shoot often so when I do I put a LOT of rounds down range through my old warhorses. Typically around 300 per visit.

It depends which range I shoot at. 100m range, <50 rounds per session. Sennybridge, 100-200 rounds over the day.

Sorry couldn't resist it
Oh is that a hornets nest?
Must slap it

If shooting 300-600yds then split between 4 rifles in a day 250-300 rounds. At a closer distance 100-200yds then maybe max 200 rounds in a day. More club members shoot the closer targets so less time for everyone to shoot.

My SMLE gets a competition outing once or twice a year and depending on the competition it sees around 50 or 100 rounds each time. A few zero sessions in between but they don't count as the round count is minimal.
