Suffolk shooter Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Reload them. Making matchstick/firestick holders (Two carts one over the other). Bit of cotton wool in each end and then fill with Airgun pellets for use out in the field, saves on time, noise and weight with a tin of pellets Heating the brass ends until they pull free from the plastic, deprime them and then put two brass caps together to make widgeon whistles. Placing ontop of Garden canes to ensure you don't get stabbed whilst digging/weeding the garden. Threading them on to wire coat hanger to make airgun spinner target. Painting or taping them dayglo colours to use as distance markers whilst airgunning in hide or pigeon shooting with shotgun. Glued together to make Pencil Holders. Strung together and placed in trees near release pen or over veggie plot to scare off BoP or birds in general. Just a few to get you going.

I have never relly thought about re-cycling them or using them for anything useful. I just bin mine. If I had the know how on recharging them them I may give that a go but imagine that takes a fair bit of time which I dont have very often.

Mungler Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 We get great pleasure from placing rare used shotgun cartridges in the bins provided at shooting grounds and then watching our cartridge collecting and reloading friends fish them out like dirty tramps looking for a half drunk can of lager on a Sunday morning.

MC Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 I don't go through the bins anymore, I just empty the whole lot into a box and take the lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Spud_ Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Does anyone know what the grounds do with all of the ones we put into the bins provided, I am sure they can be recycled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Does anyone know what the grounds do with all of the ones we put into the bins provided, I am sure they can be recycled. They normally burn them, which is why you should never leave a live one in the bin :blink: There is very little brass in them, they wouldn't be magnetic otherwise.

Quickshot Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/cambrid...ire/6454791.stm This is what happens everytime you throw you empties in the bin!! QS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Right then. Next time the industial sized wheelie bin is full at the club I'll take it to be emptied at the local police HQ. That should be a laugh :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quickshot Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 (edited) My worry is that i recognise them! Around the same time i put pretty much the same quantity of the same coloured carts in the bin! The Red Ones Are Eley HB Pigeons, The Blue Ones Are RC1, The Green Ones Are Caledonian XL's, The Yellow Ones Are RC20, And The Silver One Is An RC Prestige!

Did it ever occur to you that your sense of humour may be a little....shall we say, perverse? (Let me know next time that you do it, it sounds a riot!)

That should be a laugh If I lived near Peterborough, I would do it too. What next, empty matchboxes, used matches, used fireworks ? We'll have to start collecting spent 22 cases to hand in as well, imagine the fun we can have searching the undergrowth for them. That reminds me, I have a couple of old firelighters in the shed, I'd better get those down to the nick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
