After a fantastic week on the hinds, I've got a good handful of fired .270w cartridges. I used an estate rifle so won't be reloading, are there any useful things I can do with them?
What to do with used centrefire cartridges?

Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
if i'm not entirely wrong they're the same diameter like a 30-06. i used a 30-06 and a .45 to make a rope lighter....
A .270 should crimp onto a 6mm firesteel okay as a handle.
I would keep the case head of the one you took your first red deer with (and one more) and make a pair of cufflinks

Mark (177?) the knife maker made some pretty spiffy whistles out of spent cases the other week that he showed on here. Though the ferro rod handle sounds good too.
If you like trophy picture you could mount the case you used in a frame with a picture of the beast.

I would, but going through the faff of getting an fac for 1 week of stalking a year doesn't seem worth it as I'll always be accompanied by a stalker.
The faff seems more than it really is.
Get a cabinate,
Book a week's stalking,
Fill in paperwork for fac and write cheque,
Wait for police to come visit,
Wait for cert to be delivered,
Go buy a gun.
Rifles need not be expensive and you can target shoot to keep your skills up.
