I do most of my reloading on a rainy day on the weekend or primarily during the winter time to pass time.

Winter, every winter I spend at least one full weekend in my reloading room just making pistol rounds
I find my self doing something related to loading a hour or two at least one day every other week, usually closer to once a week if I'm not spending a day dumping powder and seating bullets. Cleaning brass, sizing, hand priming etc.
I am on a range 2-3 days a week minimum. I shoot something most of those days, often multiple guns. This Monday I shot my 6x45, and Sunday a 6br and 22 rifle. Dumped a few mags of 45acp and 9mm both earlier last week. 2 magazines 9mm today and a few rounds from a friends 22.

It all depends if my kids have sorted brass or if they're behind schedule on keeping the production line stocked with new product.
Whenever I need some more, I like to cast and load a lot of what I am doing if I have a load all figured out. Just finished 2000 45 ACP and 1500 45 Colt. Now I have a new 6.5 Grendel and I need to work up a load for that so it will only be a few for a ladder load.
Nowadays, it seems like Im loading the night before a match or range trip. Before kids, it was a Saturday or Sunday morning thing.
Whenever I get low. Try to keep a few hundred of the ones I don’t shoot often, and I’ll load up a couple thousand 9mm, 45’s or 556 at a time. Don’t usually have to do that too often though. Don’t get to shoot near as much as I would like.
90+ degree days or crappy weather on the weekend. I used to get stocked up with a couple thousand rounds over the winter. However, with my kids getting into sports I don't have the lazy Saturday mornings anymore.
I shoot about every day so I usually re-load 3 to 4 times a week in the very early morning, as to me, nothing goes better with a cup coffee than bullets, powder, & primers.
Some weeks I load something every day but usually not many at a time as I do a lot of special load work-up's & chrono work as I'm a constant tinkerer always looking for quieter suppressed loads or more accuracy, or just trying different bullet types & designs.
This quest-for-quiet seems to be my main focus this summer.
