Clapper Z I think you misunderstood my count. On average I would shoot a couple boxes at pheasants and a couple boxes at grouse per year for the 25 years that I lived in paradise. That would account for 2500 rounds more or less. The rest were several flats per year of Walmart type promo loads, these are not gentle. This was while my kids were home, we shot a lot of barnyard trap and some local league shoots and SC. At the time said gun was my only gun. They don't have odometers on them but I bet I'm not far off. I never said the gun never was broken, trigger wouldn't work once and a broken spring as I recall. My hat's off to you that you can endure 10K/year!
