FREE! - spent shotgun cartridges

[g4ghb]

I asked a friend who is the gamekeeper for our local shoot if he could save me some spent shotgun cartridges and this morning I received some - 3 grain bags full of them!!!!!

suffice to say there is more than I will ever use so if you would like any and will pay postage I'll send you as many as you want (If I run out there another 6 shoots this year so a pretty much never ending supply)

What are you going to use them for?

 

[g4ghb]

to make 'shot pots' to store matches and the like

Barethrills did an excellent tutorial recently, if you would like to have a go

Just as an aside, if anyone wants Eley VIP deep ferrules i can also provide these for the cost of post. Have fun G4

I'm liking some of these ideas
How do you make the candles?
Could I be cheeky and take some? Let me know how much you want for postage and I'll get it paypalled over

They are oil lanterns and have a glass bottle inside them and a kevlar string wick. Just a bit of fun and only burn for 30 mins. i only had a few bottles and the only ones i could find to fit were on ebay from thailand.

im happy to fill an a4 jiffy bag which should give you plenty. ill pm you

A bit of fun, but still cool looking. I shall be looking for more ideas now
I have a few in my first aid kit with paracetamol/aspirin in, just for the looks. (dont worry, tablets still in packaging and expiry date with 'em )
