That is pretty creative. The other option is reloading

Re: Recycling shot shells
If anyone plans to try this, DON'T use candles crayons as coloring... they STINK when burned!

Re: Recycling shot shells
If they are any Rem. or Winchester AA I reload them. If they are anything else (like the Win. universals pictured) I throw them away because they are junk to reload and I don't care for candles. They are a fire hazard and give off very little light or heat.
The older I get, the better I used to be.

That's a lot of work for a little candle. I'm just gonna stick with the dollar store.

Reload them, if they are to bad to reload, then cut the plastic off as best as you can and scrap them.

Bad idea.
Ive had spent shotgun shells explode when thrown into a fire.

Re: Recycling shot shells
My kid has made turkey calls from them.
He removes the primer and takes a piece of a plastic pen or heavy straw and tapes it to the primer hole. Blow into the tube.
It works, he has called a few in with this.
