Slug/Buck Hulls - Worth Saving

[jgardhouse]

I don't reload, and I don't plan on it in the near future (<10yrs) - space and constantly having to move puts a damper on that.

I shoot a lot of 12G Slugs (Winchester grey box, Federal powershok and Remington Reduced Recoil) and just as much Buck (RAUG Surplus, Winchester Ranger, Remington Reduced Recoil, Federal Powershok). We're talking at least 50 per range session. That certainly adds up.

I've been tossing them out - but I'm a fan of waste not, want not.

Is there any point to saving any of the above (and then just give away a big 'ole bag when I have a bunch of them built up)??? Or should I just toss 'em?

I'm sure a reloader would gladly take them off your hands.

I would keep the buckshot hulls. They can be reloaded.

I guess somebody out there can do a roll crimp on the slugs. But I would just toss those ones out.

A guy with a good crimper can use the Slug hulls (at least the Winchesters) for shot.

If you don't want to store them leave them at a range...they'll be gone in the morning.

I guess I'll start a big bag/bucket of them up at the camp and bring 'em back when its full.

Thanks!

My primary use for spent shotshells is as plinking targets. They can really fly when hit with a .22 bullet.
