Got a call from the local PD today. Somebody turned in 13 boxes of 12 GA light target reloads for disposal. All suposed to be #7 shot. Some are cardboard hulls as well. Guess I'll be breaking down some ammo soon.
Look what I ended up with!

Looks like 2022 is going to be the year of unloading old ammo for reloading supplies to make new ammo.

Nice!
How do I get on my PD's list of people to give ammo to?

LOL The ammo is primed. I think somebody else got the boxed primers though. Still, nothing to complain about. The former police cheif was a reloader as well and I volunteered to disopse of anything they didnt want to deal with.

Whew! That’s a relief. I was wondering how they got the primer out.

Are you sure it’s not #7-1/2?
#7 is a steel shot size. 7.5 is lead...

That was the tag I got with the bag of ammo and have not yet stripped any down. I agree probably 7 1/2 but she probably heard late husband and remembered the "7". So the final tally with the loose rounds in the bag is 16 boxes plus 2 rounds. Lots of primers and lots of shot with a little time invested, what's not to like.

Makes sense to tear down reloads. At first I was curious if you were tearing down factory fresh. Had me scratching my head.That was the tag I got with the bag of ammo and have not yet stripped any down. I agree probably 7 1/2 but she probably heard late husband and remembered the "7".

I have loaded at least 50 lbs of #7 lead over the years. Bought it from Ballistic Products.
I liked it for early season chukar but got away from it, too many pellets in the meat.
