You're over thinking it with how many and how often. You just need to do it until your dog is ready. If it's fine with smaller cals now I'd move to bigger ones. Maybe just sit the dog a little bit back from the gun for a start.
I brought my gun dog up with guns and gun shots being associated with games or a treat which worked well.
These days it takes everything to calm her down when she sees me pull the gun out!
