Launder them 3 times they make the best patch material shooting round ball black powder.

Give them to one of my clubs. They use them for reclaimed shot.

I shoot rifles and fill the shot bag, some with old tumbling media and some with sand. They make great rests. Use an old milk crate to transport them.

Insert a plastic bag first and it will help keep the innards dry

They make pretty good press covers.

That "AA" bucket is pretty cool.

My Mother in law used her sewing expertise to make me some custom reloader covers for all my PW loaders . I also use them for shooting bags filled with spent primers

After I reload 3-4 boxes of shells, I put them in the an empty shot bag and spray a tiny bit of Armor All in it and shake the shells. They come out really nice. I just like the way they look...

WTF?

I like nice stuff… no ugly dogs, no ugly horses, no ugly guns, no ugly wife, and I’m not shooting burned up, nasty hull reloads. Your mileage may vary.

Interesting approach. I never thought of it this way. I guess I thought of it from the opposite side. Once the hulls are looking too ratty - it's time for the once more, done and toss bin.

Lol, nobody ever tries to steal an ugly wife!

When you're shooting more than 10,000 targets each year, the concept of cleaning them or shining them borders on being ridiculous.

If I shot so few that I had time to clean and polish my hulls, I would first have to ask... why bother reloading?

I would simply buy factory ammo and everything would be clean and shiny and I could spend the time I saved shooting more targets at the club! YMMV

If I had the time and desire to shoot that much I would. I have a full time job and our side gig is a horse ranch with 24 horses, a few feeder steers, sheep for our freezer and various other animals. It takes a lot of time even with our hired help. I shoot for fun and reload because I like it. If shooting 10,000 targets makes you happy, I’m happy… Shooting is a hobby for me. Not a lifestyle. Our ranch is my lifestyle. YMMV

If you're as busy as you say, where do you find the time to polish your reloads with Armor All?

Based on your reply, I would think you would have very little time to waste polishing anything.

Dear dumbass, throw 75 shells in a bag, 2 squirts, shake for 10 seconds and I’m done. Granted, it would probably take someone with your mental acuity quite a bit longer, but with some practice, you could probably get it down to 5 minutes. I have faith in you. PS, sorry about your inability to get a pretty wife.

 

[Prairie dog]

I keep them for a while and then look at the pile of bags I have saved. Then throw them away.

If you're in Northern Illinois, Diamond IL to be exact, give them to the Diamond Indoor Trap Range. They reclaim the shot from their shot curtain. Good stuff, looks like new.

I saw a shooter last year whose wife made him a blanket from shot bags for this PU tailgate so he could lay his guns on it. Very nice - wish I had taken a picture.

I toss them, don’t need anything made from cloth with lead in it. Definitely don’t want my washing machine having lead residue in it.

Take them to the local laundromat.

Yeah, then it becomes someone else’s problem. 🙄
