Joerard, 2000 to 3000 casings each time out for 2 or 3 times a week = 6000 rounds a week x 52 weeks = 312,000 casings. I'm finding this story a little hard to believe. This would = 20,000 rounds each for 15 different guns. Are you streaching the story or am I missing something? I'm calling BS on this post.

Surely you mean 2-3 HUNDRED rounds per session, ya? At that clip, you could get to your 20k rounds in just 5 months. So, what happened the other 19 months that you were neglecting your XD?

Thanks for sharing!!! Stay Safe

I wish i had the time/facility's to reload, i usually run bulk Winchester white box ammo. I figured that if im going to carry the gun i need to be very proficient with it. I feel no need now to own any other polymer frame handgun!

maybe i was un-clear in the amount of time the gun was down, i was jobless for about 17months or so during schooling. After I posted that i figured there would be some questions.

Unfortunately, it was neglected for quite a while.
