I did the math on cost of reloading target loads. It was more expensive. Reloading hulls for to replace premium hunting ammunition might make since but definitely not for target rounds for shooting clays.
@zupyo22 When a shooting range wants to clean up the lead you just dig up the top couple feet or so of soil and take it out. Shotshells don't dig into the soil unless fired directly into the soil, and that's not what you do shooting clays. So when the shot is fired the lead simply travels until it loses speed and falls to earth like gentle lead rain. Unless you have severe erosion problems it doesn't go anywhere else.
It is only dangerous when you double charge (add too much powder). So unless you do something silly and do not pay attention while loading, they are just as safe as factory made ammo.
Anthony Thorp this has nothing to do with lead, yes i see ehat your getting at but like i said the majority of shells contain steel NOT LEAD, and in the British isles it is law to use steel shot when shooting water foul so do your research. God bless
@@Blaze-sz1no Video said shooting school. In US steel is law for waterfowl too. Also if you're shooting over water or wetlands regardless of why. Still a lot of lead out there. Not arguing, just saying. Have a nice day.
Is it illegal to reload in the UK? If it's not, just make it a rule that participants have to buy shells at the range, reload all the shells until they fall apart, then use the revenue you make from reloading to fund the recycling program. You can reload those things a bunch of times. Mec makes the classic reloaders, but I think RCBS and Hornady make really good ones too. Not to mention industrial grade, fully automated loaders... those would really make it cost effective.
+iTheGeek You replace the wads when you reload shotshell hulls... because they fly away with the shot when the powder propels it out of the barrel. Reloads pattern just as well as factory loads, because you're literally using the same components as the factory. I'm not sure if you don't understand how the ammunition works or how reloading works, but ranges often have rules that stipulate you have to buy your ammunition there... it reduces membership costs, and the range sells the spent shells to reloaders to increase profits.
+iTheGeek you clearly have no clue about reloading. Reloaded roads are more accurate then factory rounds. Programs exist at gun clubs in the US were gun owners with balls exist and works out great
+eljohn3 I don't know how cheap shotgun reloading is in the US but based on Uk prices for cartridges, wads, powder I have worked out that it would cost me another 50 pounds extra to load 1000 shotgun cartridges than to buy them in the shop. A no brainer there and this is why most people in the Uk don't reload except people who don't mind paying more to get that very accurate and precise load. It would be the equivalent of reloading .223 or 9mm in the US, pointless from a cost point of view.
+Steven Wolf Assuming you have the equipment already, It's still more cost effective to reload 9mm and 5.56 in the US than just keep buying new...as long as you buy components in bulk. That's why pro shooters, including Jerry Miculek, reload everything they can. If you shoot a lot, you can always shoot more for less money if you reload. The costs attached in the UK must be astronomical for it to cost less to buy factory rounds.
a Clipper lighter fits in a empty 12G case perfectly. A few time I have bought a couple of hundred clipper lighters at wholesale (colours that match the plastic) pop a used shell under and sell it for 2x the price of the lighter in bulk. But to shred them down for the plastics, the odd paper shell, soft steel and the thin brass coating is long of stupid, if you have a shooting school, they mostly use one brand, put the bin by the positions then at the end of everyday store them someplace inside so they don't corrode then get them remanufactured into sporting birdshot cartridges. In the US they have factory's that make ammo out of old brass for pistol and rifle calibers. I would have no problem shooting reman 12g birdshot I was told in the old days people would always pick up casings as most of them used to be high wall brass or even full brass cases. Even steel case rifle ammo can be reloaded, used. 22lr cases can be used to make jackets for .223 bullets. Ranges in the US often have a policy nmof not hoarding brass cases and a ban on steel cased ammo even if the bullets jacket does not have any steel as they can make good money selling once fired brass cases to realoders, even ones that are beyond reloading are worth their weight in brass. I've heard of people that will go down range to collect bullets to melt down so they can cast their own bullets. Some calibers are now able to shoot full power loads with lead cast if you powder coat them.
Amazing. All those perfectly good shells, and the best solution anyone can come up with is to break them all down to raw materials to make speed bumps and park benches... WTF
Put the freshly fired hulls in barrels, cap the barrels off and send them to a factory to be reloaded. Sell the reloaded shells to the shooting schools and gun clubs for practice and informal shooting. I own several thousand hulls and a reloader. I buy powder, wads, primers and shot in bulk. Haven't needed to buy skeet loads in years. As long as I can operate the loader, I have ammunition.
There is nothing wrong by recycling, and reloading. Everything cost to much and it is so high here in America that we Americans recycle and reload all brass and shotgun hulls. It's a poor boy way of having to hunt or shoot and for our sport.
I hammer nails into the wall at an angle, slip the spent shells over them, and use it as a bb gun rack. Obviously I don't do rhat 7 million times, but it gets rid of 2 of them at least. Primer and powder is rare in these parts as of late.
Most of these hulls are Cheddite, or similar Eurotrash hulls, and not really worth reloading. And unless you're reloading .410 or 28 gauge in the UK you won't be saving a penny.
@Nwest82 I take a 5 gallon bucket to the range with me everytime I go. I usually come home with it around half full of hulls I can use. Saves me money, enough to pay for the gas to go there, and I clean up the range.
No one in UK has a commercial reloading operation? Most US police departments train w/ commercially reloaded ammunitions as do many US gun owners. The "green" in all this would be the savings & less energy consumption in refilling an empty useable hulls rather than expending raw materials and more energy to make new hulls to be filled.Don't forget there's an energy expenditure in rendering the once used shells.
You know people with permission from the home secretary to own section 5 firearms? In the uk semi automatic centerfire rifles are section 5 as are pistols in great britain, very difficult to get.
Seems like a better idea to grind'em up onsite, then use in concrete mix or mix with topsoil for added drainage. No real bad stuff in the spent shell comparaed to the lead pellets.
He should send the plastic back to make more shotgun shells. Reloading would only work if you could keep track of how many times that shell was reloaded and then you would have to take responsibility of the reloads if something happens. Shotguns shells make a good plastic to melt and make things with.
I shoot 16ga, and it's getting harder every year to find new hulls. I reload mine until they fall apart or won't hold a crimp anymore. I don't keep strict track of how many times. I'd say I get between 5-8 reloads.
I think its in Cities they are and everywere else I think it depends on what kind. They do have strict registerd weapon laws I belive. Don't quote me on this, this was from a while ago I heard this.
Its never cheaper to buy new than reload... You can reload for 1/5th to 1/3rd the price of new shot shells, and you can produce customized loads that will by far shoot better in your shotgun than any factory produced shells, where they cant customize, and must produce ammo that will have to function in the widest range o firearms.
No it's not, it's just fallen out of favor because of cheap mass production and the price of bulk packaged steel shot loaded cartridges. But if you want to reload for whatever type of cartridge you want, you can buy the components at any gun shop in the UK or let them order it for you if they don't stock it. Apart from expanding bullets (soft point & hollow point) and rifle/pistol primers all reloading components can be bought without a license.
We all like to Recycle and my shoot have more that 400k of spend cartridges ready to go off for recycling. Out problem is cost! It’s well expensive. We are going to order a large skip to take them away.
I pick up all my cartridges and take them home to sort out later. The good ones I reload. The ones with a steel base get tossed in the trash. The bad ones that are no longer useable for reloading and have BRASS bases, I remove the primer and put the shell in a vise and clamp tight. Then I heat the bottom SLIGHTLY with a propane torch and grab with a pair of pliers and hit with a hammer from the side to remove base. They get tossed in a bucket with other brass scrap to be recycled for cash.
Given how widespread reloading of shotgun shells is, unless you want to provide some kind of source and actual numbers, I'm going to have to take that as hearsay. There may be some shells unsuited to reloading, but it's pretty clear that any such are by far the exception.
***** belt fed machine guns are illegal in the US, the only way to own them is investing several thousands of dollars into a pre-1986 model. Don't be rude.
So belt fed machine guns are illegal but you can still buy them .....yeah super illegal, what you have described is referred to as a restriction, illegality means absolute restriction of all said items.
***** If you buy or make one you will risk a heavy fine and a decade in prison. You can get one *transferred* to you by petitioning to the ATF in the form of a tax stamp and almost a year of waiting. Look, you can own belt fed machine guns anywhere in the world, you just have to petition the authorities to have that privilege. I could go out right now and ask the chief of the police to give me a waiver. Doesn't mean that it will work because I'm not involved in R&D or any military contracts, but I can. Doesn't make full autos less banned in Portugal just because I can ask to get one. I mean, it's on the top of the list of banned weapons in our legislation. By the way, you can indeed buy new belt feds or build them yourself if they only fire a single round per trigger pull and the action fired from a closed bolt, and I doubt your initial argument was supposed to include neutered military hardware that had it's only purpose thrown out of the window by making it a really heavy and impractical semi automatic rifle, type of firearm that is legal in most of Europe.
Filipe Amaral Listen if you own a machine gun and still let your government have heir way with you you're fucked, stand the hell up and be a man, you don't like the laws change them. Learn from history instead of becoming part of it, southern Ireland is still free because people had BALLS.
***** thanks, but Portugal is far too gone. Me and my father have been looking for primers, no store sells them in the city. He's in the military, if anyone could easily obtain firearms stuff it would be him because they have little restrictions on ownership. We had to order them from the countryside, and we were given no reason why. Someone must have been "offended" or something.
Here in Australia, we pay at LEAST twice as much for reloading material, it's almost not worth reloading. Worse, we have our own powder company making the stuff here charging twice as much. *rolls eyes*
If they would take care of the empty hulls after they are shot they could be reloaded and reused. wouldn't that be a more environmentally friendly and cost effective way of handling this.
They are not called cartridges, they are called HULLS. And if you want to recylcle them, RELOAD THEM like I do. I cut my shotshell cost by about 70% by reloading mine. I can get about 5 reloads before the hull is worn out at the crimp
Why do they charge to recycle the shells? When you bring in aluminum cans, they pay you. If the materials are valuable, then they should be able to pay for the empty shells too. Unless the cost of recycling is higher than the materials are worth (as it is for glass and paper) in which case compact those things and throw them in the dumpster.
the manuf make many that are not good for reloading. damage to guns and shooters can and has happened by shooting some two piece hulls with fiber base wad.
That is neat, but in order for it to really catch on, they are going to have to make the end products more proffitable. That is what we did with recycling here in the states. Now people will actually pay you for your garbage because they can make money off recyling.
I don't know what it is...but there's something about the sound of a handful of empty shells rattling, you know?
Or the sound of empty .22s rustling
And there’s definitely something about the smoked targets
yes !
Jesus loves you all very much repent and believe onto Him and be saved from eternal punishment of sin amen, Jesus DIED for you
Is reloading not a thing? I reload every shell i shoot with in reason. Why not turn a spent shell into a new one?
I the UK you need an explosive license, they're free but i imagine people just don't want to go through the effort
***** Got ya. That explains why my argument is invalid. In the US we can buy powder and re load no issues. makes sense.
Bradley Cannon Yeah, I'm gonna apply for one anyway. Just for the fact that it's free
stevemorgs In the United States you just go into a sporting goods store and buy your reloading goods without no licence.
I did the math on cost of reloading target loads. It was more expensive. Reloading hulls for to replace premium hunting ammunition might make since but definitely not for target rounds for shooting clays.
that would be awesome if this was in America... I would just stop by every so often and pick up a ton of them.

+Timmy D Still have to throw them away eventually
elobiretv if you dont know what you're doing, i suppose.
Timmy D Its not worth reloading shotshells in the UK. There is no cost benefit and getting components is a hassle.
They can only be reloaded once however
I remember going to a shooting competition in the Campbridge and the shooting club there had a really nice garden with shells instead of dirt
Spent 12g cartridges make great static targets for rifle shooting and air pistols. They can be used over and over before recycling
If that much plastic is in the pile, how much lead is in the countryside soil?
I Be Trollin' They Be Hatin' well lead is mined from the earth anyway, also many shells contain steel anyway
@@Blaze-sz1no oil comes from the ground too but it doesn't pollute the water till its pumped out.

Reload them, then do this when they have been, reloaded and fired again.

Grind them up and add to topsoil.... are you daft? Do you know the impact micro plastics are having on all living organisms?
There was no "how to" in this video..
@mdr8088 agreed that's why I reload, well one of the reasons. I even pick hulls up in the woods that look half decent and use them for reloading.

Why do I want to jump into it and the play with them
Could you make clays out of the plastic?
BUY YOURSELF A RELOADER.....RELOADABELS NICE
chris2crazzy Reloaded kits are stupidly expensive in the UK. Cheaper to just buy more shells, and guns are much more enforced and harder to get.
You also need an explosives license
@@williamthebutcherssonprodu227 but you can reload by hand easy with not tools
