    Keep Or Scrap?

    I found about 20 of these hulls at the range. Are they something to hold onto or just toss? For that matter there are lots of 20 and 12 gauge hulls that I toss when I am cleaning the range. I do not even own a shotgun, and I assume they are relatively easy to come by. Is there anything I should keep in a bucket (certain brands) in case the day ever comes I start loading them?

    I suppose it depends on availability of room to store. I keep just about anything that can be used again. You can end up with more stuff you won't use or nobody really wants. I'm assuming someone could use those. Most reload win AA's and Remington sts's? I'm sure there are other hulls people will chime in with.

    I am also in charge of cleaning a club range. The only ones I keep are Win compression formed and HS, and Rem STS and Gun Club. The rest go in the garbage.

    Or save them till you have a 5 gal bucket full and sell them. Especially AA compression and STS's

    fecmech is correct they are made for one time use.

    I used to do a lot of shotgun stuff at gunshows. About the only hulls that really sell are those mentioned above because they are so versatile and tough. You can reload AA'S and Remington hulls many times, so worth keeping. I used to have guys come by the table and tell me they have garbage bags after garbage bags of those old compression formed AA hulls in their garage. Had maybe 1 in 100 ever bring them in to sell, just because the wife needed the shelf space in the garage for something else. Old trap and skeet shooters keep them forever, long after they quit shooting!!
