I guess a picture is worth a thousand words. I just this stuff on eBay, and these came with some other gas checks. NORMAL gas checks. These things are huge!! What are they?? What are they used one?? Does anyone still use these?? I probably have 800+ of these, so what can i use them for??

IIRC they are for swaging half jacketed bullets.

^ yep.

Does anybody use these things still? Should I just turn them in for scrap? Copper is up there in price.....

Please don't sell them for scrap.

Bullet jackets are worth their weight in gold to a swager.

Get over on the swaging forum and offer them for sale or trade for something you want.

williamwaco is correct. They have to be worth far more to a swager than as scrap copper.
