malkiserow Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Agri-Cycle of Lincoln now have a machine which recycles used shotgun cartridges. The machines themselves can be bought from a company called Summit Recycling. Not for the individual shooter but for grounds..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddan Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 http://www.prw.com/subscriber/newscat2.htm...p;id=1253696427 Wow the fact there is Plastic and Rubber Weekly shocks me more than the recycling of cartridges. Mungler - I don't know what the answer is but I am sure it involves medical help of some description. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groach1234 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Making something like that was my get rich quick plan its a great idea anyway i hope it takes off as it is something i have been thinking must get solved George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 (edited) I wonder how many cartridges it would take to make the exercise cost effective. If it can process up to a tonne an hour thats fine but where are you going to get 8 tonnes of fired cartidges from every day? You cant truck them in from other grounds because that would cost more than the job is worth. Besides, I don't suppose all the shooting grounds and all the shooters in the country produces 8 tonnes of fired cases a day. The best machines made for recycling cartridges are made by Lee, Redding, Lyman and MEC. Its only a trade conspiracy that makes reloading uneconomical. Years ago I used to reload cartridges for half the price of factory loads. Why can't I still do it? Its another example of plastic cases, and plastic wads, being hoisted upon us. Did anyone ask us what we think? Paper cases are bio degradable so why not use them instead? There nothing nicer than a cartridge bag full of lovely big fat paper cartridges and nothing worse than finding a load of garish brightly coloured plastic cases stuffed in a hedge.

30-6 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Why did someone say on a previous (long time ago) post that .22 lr subs cases cannot be re-cycled ? Sure I read it on here. They're not magnetic so must be brass, and are the most fired round so plenty about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
