Default Does anyone in Calgary reload 12 gauge?

I save all of my hulls when I'm out duck hunting. I don't know if they are any use to anyone?

I don't want anything for them, just rather see them get used.

DM me

Default Only a few brands are easily reloadable

Winchester AA, federal gold and remington peters are my go to hulls.. Mix mash of hunting hulls usually not worth effort as every brand will need different wad, primer combination and powder charge.
Great that you pick up though.

We dump out a half dozen garbage bags of 12 gauge hulls every year at the range. People take the AA, STS, and gold Medal hulls, and the rest go in the garbage, because nobody wants them.

Yes steel can be reloaded, if you can find the powders that work with such loads, I used to reload steel till the powder became like unicorn teeth.

So I doubt anyone wants your used waterfowl hulls.

Like others have stated some of the better target hulls have some recyclable value, but you won’t be banging away at ducks with those types of shells, so there ya go.
