Not too many. Pic below is all that I've shot this year.

A year ago I was going through 500 / week so 25,000 / year.
Now < 5,000 / year. At this rate I have primers to last until 2025
I used up over 42 pounds of powder last year not counting my shotguns.
I have no idea how many rounds that is, would have to add up my log book.

scopes and bags are cool, but palm rests 'n' irons RULE!
Ammo and primer famine that has been more or less ongoing since 2020 has curbed my pistol shooting to around 2k per year.
The poll is too limiting. There should have been a box to check that said "not enough".
I keep four Dillon 1050s, two rl1000s, two Stars and some 550s well fed, used one or more everyday. Soo, I guess I'd fall in the 1000 or more category.... Smith , Steyr and Lewis must be fed....
I'm in the "more than 1000 club". Back in the day I shot HighPower and M1 Garand matches; those were 133 rounds a day. (EDIT: should be 123 rounds) The club I belonged to, still do as life member, was open year around and only a few miles from our home which was right on the edge of town.
Now I don't shoot matches and the range I belong to is closed to the public due to weather about half the year. I still send a lot of rounds down range. .22s, BP, Service Rifles, Hunting Rifles, handguns big and small, they all want me to take them to the range when I walk past the gun safe. I have to shift around what to shoot depending on what components I can find to replace what I shoot.

about 36000 pellets ( about 100 pellets a day average ) and more centerfire pistol and rifle.
15 k+ a year . USPSA, GSSF,and practice. Trying to start Speed Steel.
The "foundation" of my shooting requires 2000 SPP's per year for 38/357/9mm. Then add to that occasional 30-30, 44 mag, 223, 45 acp, 22 rf (another 2000 easy).
Depends on how many club events I shoot in. Those will take 50-70 rounds/week.
Yesterday I fired my 6.8 ten times, my 30-06 7 times, and my 44-40 15 times.
I shoot something most days of the year, weather permitting.

I've used about 35,000 primers in the past three years for loading about twenty or more different cartridges, but about 10% of those primers are in primed rifle and handgun brass that have yet to be fired. I'm not much of a bookkeeper, but based on my crude accounting method, I would guess I fire about 10,000 rounds a year. It would probably take a strange person indeed to come up with truly accurate numbers on any of this.
I average between 12,000 and 14,000 rounds per year.
The wife and I would shoot 10-12 thousand a year before this on going primer situation. I am down to about 50,000 primers now and have cut back to about 50 a week.
