I don't see these hulls for sale on Gunbroker, or e-bay , I'm wondering if I should bother counting and listing these , or pitch them? I probably have 5000+.

  Bill,
  
  I tried reloading a few once, after saving probably a case of empties, without any luck.
  
  I think they're too thin walled and "crushable".
  
  Didn't work at it real hard but think I gave it a fair try. I still buy them because they're cheap, I just don't save 'em.

  The hulls made for skeet and trap shooting tend to be better for reloading, both in terms of data available and general quality.
  The "off brand" (non-skeet/trap) are only intended to be fired once.
  As far as listing them, well...IMHO...let's just say that your actual shipping cost would be higher than the 5000 hulls would bring.

  Thanks guys; I've got a guy at the club who might try them and a former Marine I bought them from who thanks us all.

  Hey,Bill Jordon,I recieved about 300 of these(out of a 5 gal bucket full+)and they reloaded very well.I went to them first because I had never used them before,so I thought there might be a challenge.I'd say put them on an auction,reload them,or give them to someone who loads,then go out and bust a bunch of clay birds with your friend the reloader.[:)]
