      Thanks for teaching me something. I didn't know they were called hulls.

      Thats what I figured. I buy 100 rounds for ~$20 +/- a couple bucks.

        The cheapy wal-mart hulls are not desirable for reloading. There are a few brands that are designed to be used repeatedly, like Winchester AA and Remington STS. If you find those, then people would definitely buy them from you for up to $0.10 each or so.

          I'm always interested in cheap .410 hulls.

                No kidding. Those little rascals are pricey at the store.

                    I load 12ga because I buy my #9 shot by 75lb quantities

                      I load 10 and 12 gauge since I prefer my steel shot loads over factory.. For 12 gauge lead, well... I have to have a reason to use the shotmaker I bought

                        I load the cheap hulls. I load them 2x before I dispose. The load are just low pressure birdshots anyway. I don't load them for economic reason, I load them for the fun factor.

                          I get the #7/8 mix at half price when available and all the used hulls I want for free, just bring a bag.

                            the best way to get your non-toxic shells for less than 1 arm and 1 leg is to reload. You can get into shotshell reloading for under 100 bucks all in.

                              Just a word... Be careful when loading the "cheap" hulls, ie two piece hull vs one piece like AA or STS. They WILL come apart on you and when they do you will have a cardboard obstruction in your barrel. I've seen this many time even with once fired hulls. Check the barrel every time you fire one.
