Here is one for the desk jockeys.

 

 

Get a nice piece of wood to use as a base, then carefully drill the centre out of the cartridge caps (12g and .410's) and screw them down into the block of wood to make a nice desk tidy.

 

Great for storing your pens and pencils in at the office. :good:

I have buckets made from re cycled Shotgun cases, (not made by me of course) we use them at the training ground to collect more used cartridges

I was poking around YouTube and saw a guy making little storage cases for matches and fishing tackle from spent shotgun cases.

 

He was getting the plastic bits out by holding the brass in a pair of pliers over his kitchen stove. Just wondered if there was a less messy way of removing all the plastic stuff. I wondered if sitting them in a pan of boiling water might loosen them enough to get them out with pliers.

Have you had any luck using the boiling water method?
