Any value in .45ACP semi-wadcutter reloads (for components or whatever)?
Found a couple hundred rounds of reloads in my .45 stash and can't remember where they came from so there's no chance I'm going to shoot them. I don't reload myself and don't even have a puller to take them apart. Is there any chance someone would want them to reuse the components? Or should I just hang onto them in case I really get desperate for ammo some day? Seems like with factory 45 going for $15/50 right now these might not be worth the trouble. Thanks for any opinions.

I'd hold on to them. some autoloaders will spit them out, others won't. in a pinch, they may come in handy at a target range.
there are wheelguns chambered in 45 acp. some poor slob at the range may be damn grateful to have them.There is no greater sorrow than to recall in misery the time when we were happy - Dante.

Thank you sir. Looks like they'll stay on the bottom of the stash for a rainy day.

LOL, yep I have quite a bit! It's all in ammo cans stacked pretty deep and some of it has been there for a while. I was consolidating and transferring some to bigger cans and found these. LSWC and LRN, several hundred rounds. Probably got it in a trade.
That's the thing: I'd have to be pretty desperate to shoot it but don't know what else to do with it. Maybe give them to somebody who can pull 'em apart.
