Re: Recycling shot shells
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.

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

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

Re: Recycling shot shells
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.
