ab1964 Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Anyone tried the shell manufacturers - who knows in this environmental era (they could be interested in taking the empties back and what with :hmm:offsetting the carbon footprint and all) they could be interested in taking the empties back (they should be - reloading them has gotta be cheaper than remanufacturing them). I'm sure when they see sense they will be begging the shooting grounds for their empties. Carbon Foot print my ***! Give me a break. CO2 makes up less than 1/2 of 1 percent of the earth's atmosphere and has nothing to do with a global "green house effect". Stop believing this global lie. If the earth is getting warmer - it has nothing to do with carbon. All this global warming non-sense is promoted my Greenies wanting to send us back to the dark ages and tax the **** of us on our way there.

cartridge77 Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Hi everyone, I was wondering where can I dispose my empty shotgun catridges, as I dont leave them behind when I go shooting, I usually collect them and take them back home with me. Hi awge i just saw your question from march and was wondering if you ever found a solution, if not i'm wondering if i may take them off your hands. I'm looking to collect a large number of used cartridge to complete an ambitious lighting installation. do let me know if you can help and pass on request/solution [which ever way you look at it ] to who ever you think might be interested.. regards gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moors Man Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 take em to your local clay club, most likely they burn them. Thats what I do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diceman Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 take em to your local clay club, most likely they burn them. Please don't! We're not allowed to burn them any more, we have to pay to have them taken away. Just bung them in your own bin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesbach Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Thats what I do could be fun if you had an unused one sneak into the pile!!! :yes: :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diceman Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 could be fun if you had an unused one sneak into the pile!!! :good: :lol: :yes: That used to happen quite a lot. Live cartridges in a bonfire are surprisingly unspectacular, though I wouldn't recommend it in your living room baxi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Best Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 Actually, that is half the problem. The farm animals do eat them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmboy91 Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 4 minutes ago, London Best said: Actually, that is half the problem. The farm animals do eat them. The farmer I shoot for on one side keeps cattle and the first bit of shooting I ever done for him was on the farm he happened to keep said cattle on. I asked him about using plas or fibre and he said plas wasn't an issue because they cows didn't touch them, whereas fibre they would eat and then have troubles with digestion.

London Best Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 Different views! Farmers have told me cattle eat plaswads. It doesn’t affect me as I won’t buy them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmboy91 Posted April 14, 2020 Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 Yep, just repeating what he had said, his only rule for me shooting was to take my empties with me. Not sure the cows ate those though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardigun Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Many years ago, I used to shoot skeet at North Wales Shooting School, owned by the Jones(Baler) family. They made hay from the long grass that grew on the "Fall out" area, and fed it to bullocks . I remember the troughs under the hay racks were full of used plas-wads, that must have fallen out of the hay. It didn't seem to trouble the cattle at all.

WalkedUp Posted April 15, 2020 Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 Just reading that reminded me that the owners of North Wales Shooting School have applied for planning permission to close it down and turn the site into a caravan park.
