I might go shooting some shotgun. I'm not gonna reload that, so to me the hulls would be garbage. Is there anyone buying those on the EE or it's futile to bring them back home?

Not looking to make real money here, I would sell them for barely more than the shipping cost.

Yes I buy hundreds off the EE...Winchester AA

That being said you should still pick them up even if its just to put them in the garbage.

LOL, yeah, leaving garbage behind was never an option. The question was whether I was wasting my time trying to sell/give them on the EE.

Good to know, I'll pick them up if they can be useful to someone...

If you're not picking them up, you shouldn't be shooting. It's disrespectful and you are a pig that gives gun owners a bad name. And someone you shoot with should have slapped some proverbial sense into you before now.

If you are picking them up already then this post shouldn't offend you :)

Read post #4. If you've already read it, this should offend you :)
 
I did read it, and from that post your wording suggests you'll pick them up if it's worth it to you and not wasting your time..

That's why I said if you are already it shouldn't offend you. If your not, nor hadn't in the past hopefully you start..

Based on many public places I have shot at, there is a lot of pinheads that don't pick up after themselves and those pinheads give all gun owners a bad name. Seeing as we are steadily fighting a public perception problem, we need to do everything in our power to have a positive opinion of us

I don't know how anyone can equate "leaving garbage behind was never an option" with "you'll pick them up if it's worth it to you", but I would suggest that my guess would indeed offend you.

I'll leave it at that.
 
My club has instructed members to stop putting shotgun shells in the brass collection containers and to put them in the garbage instead. When I saw that, I took it as an indication that people perhaps have too much money right now. However if history is any indication, that won't last.
 
Glad to hear, my interpretation of your wording that suggested garbage wasn't an option, but then in the last paragraph you state something that threw question into it (" Good to know, I'll pick them up if they can be useful to someone") All good man!!

I'll leave it at that, glad we're on the same page
 
I think it all depends on what you're shooting. Not much value in the steel (or is it aluminum) ones that are used in many target loads, but the brass based hulls (particularly the high brass hulls used on slugs, steel shoot, etc) are likely worth something to someone. I keep all my high brass ones in case I get into shotgun loading down the road, target load hulls to in the trash though.
 
I reload the high brass federal hulls for slugs only and find most “brass” hulls can be picked up with a magnet so they are brass plated or just coloured to look like brass which I would not even consider reloading.
If you have Federal high brass hulls that are really brass then I am definitely interested in those.

Our club has 4 garbage bins: brass, non-brass metals, paper, and garbage.

The ground is never littered with anything, and it's not because the RO picks up behind people; I've never seen anyone leave their crap behind. People very often do the right thing when they have a chance to.

I have no clue which hull is which,, what is low and what is high. I know diddly squat about reloading shotguns. Tbh I don't even own a shotgun, gonna use a friend's. I just hate to see perfectly good pistol/rifle brass that someone could reload be sent to the scrapyard, so I was just asking if it's the same thing for shotgun hulls.

Anyway we'll shoot 100 of these:

Are those hulls worth their shipping cost for reloaders or they're like steel cases for pistol/rifle?

Dont know off hand but...if they are steel...generally not good. If you cut one open and it looks like compressed cardboard also not good.
