I reloaded thousands of them - 50 years ago with my father. That's all he loaded for trap and hunting. I was the little guy placing the primer in the reloader as he did the remainder of the work. My pay was the spent primers. I loved shooting them with my slingshot because they whistled as they flew through the air. You know it time to toss these shells when you start to see small burn marks or pin holes where the brass meets the paper and if you reload them one too many times you may get separation of the brass from the paper. I used to love waxing the crimp of our waterfoul loads.
Ah, childhood. I love that story, Tom.
