Are these winchest super x hulls from OO buck and slugs worth anything? If so I will hang onto them and sell them once I have a decent amount. Otherwise, its in the trash they go. I'm not planning on shooting enough shotgun to bother reloading for it myself at this point.

Thanks!
 
I got garbage bags full of empty hulls.

Birdshots I sell .10c each. Buck or Slugs .20-25c.

You can buy a set of those new LED Christmas lites and stick the empties over the ends for a set of "RedNeck" patio lites. I have a set of red and green in my "Man Cave" You have to re-crimp the hulls to get the lites to stay in. No danger of fire because the LED lites don't get hot. Just a suggestion.
 
I have a few really old shotgun shells that are marked "Winchester-Western" and are in "New Plastic!". No idea how old they are but I fired a couple and did they ever foul my bore! It was like looking down a 25 year old never swept chimney! Maybe black powder? Some kind of crap smokeless? It's in a red and white box. I have 5 rounds left in it. Worth anything?

Lol... Nice. I'm definitely not going to rule this option out.
 
I'll go out on a limb here and say next to nothing. Every range I go to tosses out hulls by the barrel full. I assume most go through and pick out the Federals and AAs then toss the rest. Reloading for a 12 ga is pretty much a waste of time, unless your making specialty loads.
 
I was under the impression that the hulls with the steel rims are pretty much garbage since you'll wear out the resizing die (?) on your reloader, but the brass ones (i think super x) are good. Now, from what i remember of reloading shotshells years ago, the ones that have a rolled crimp on the front as opposed to the star crimp are harder to reload as well.
 
Nothing. Steel base, heat sealed crimped hulls aren't worth anything. Only hulls worth selling in 12ga are AA's, STS's and Gold Medals. Most game loads with the exception of some Remington stuff is loaded in hulls not worth reloading.
 
They're great hulls, load 'em just like STS hulls. Haven't seen any in a while and a guy shows up at our club and starts shooting old AA's and RXP's. Says they're 25 year old reloads. Half of them were bloopers. He took the hulls though.
 
When I was given the 400 RXP hulls,he also included about 400 CIL no.4BP (with battery pockets),and 200 cil no.4b primers(without battery pockets) Red/Green boxes. Do you think I should get rid of the primers?
 
I wouldn't bother with it, that stuff is ancient history. Sell it (gunshow maybe? cartridge collectors?) and pick up some modern primers whose load data is plentiful.
 
remington Game Loads, Gun club or any other gun name load up just fine. Not as good as the green weenies or the gold ones, but still pretty good.

Those red winchesters will load up like a AA, but won't last as long.

The only down side of the steel hulls is the primers will rust into them if you let them get wet. Then they dish the hull when the primer is punched and it ruins the hull.

I don't really think there is any value in them.
 
The biggest downside to steel base hulls is the extra effort required during resizing. Loading one box of anything steelbase feels like I've loaded two boxes worth of AA's.
