What YOU do with empty pellet tins?

[Alan]

Do tell...
Toss em?  Wallpaper?  Targets?  Jewelry?   


I stuffed four CPHP tins with Duct Seal, one for each gun.  Have not shot them yet.
Might even add one to my Flava Flav turbo-tuned clock chain - just need to figure out what to keep in it.

Personally,

I stack them in my basement next to my shooting area as a monument to my addiction LOL.

I think there is somewhere around 7000 or 8000 pellets worth of tins stacked up.  And that's just since the hobby started last summer.

Shoot them..lol! Then see them ting off when they get shot, than i usually shoot them once or twice when they are on the ground.

I like to fill em 3/4 full with candle wax, tape the lid on, and shoot 'em. The wax catches most pellets and you get that satisfying "tink" when they hit.

 I take the empty tins from crosman that are threaded and put the European pellets in them. Just put a new paper label on them. No more spills.

Good idea snookman! I hang on to 'em ( I don't know why ,just am a saver      )

[Toolmaker]

 I put small parts in 'em when working on one of my guns.

I spray paint the lids with gray automotive primer.  When dry, I can write the contents on the lid with a sharpie.  I mostly use them to store parts of whatever I am working on at the time.  Also use for ear plugs, odd screws etc. 

I turned two of them into small alcohol stove burners (for emergency cooking if the power goes out), but they have too much mass as compared to ones made from soda cans, and they did not work too well.

 ones with screw on lids I use them for small bits and peices and such,to hold pellets that dont come in screw top cans etc etc...

non screw top lids sometimes get used for small trays mostly just get shot up though

[Frank]

I make emergency candles with them. Small and with a lid, easy to carry. Use left over wax from other candles with a new wick.

[Erskine]

They make nice containers for Tannerite when I am shooting explosive targets.  Tins are so thin that there is not worry about schrapnel.

[johnathon 1]

melt em down and make new pellets,, cost effective...... shoot better than gamo pellets, either way !!!! ha ha

[JonnyReb]

 I put them in a drawer and wonder what to do with them..

[Davee1]

Basically, everybody has already named the several things I do with mine...but I would like to share the funniest thing.

I can't let go of them.  I've got a bunch of empty tins that have no function, other than sitting in a box and inside of an end table...taking up much needed space.  Some of the dented ones I threw away, and even that was hard.  Some of the screwtop ones are housing other pellets so there's no spills.  Some of the bigger ones like the JSB .22 tins I use for parts containers while working on my airguns.  But the other ones....I just cant bring myself to throw them away.  I suppose that once my wife finds them someday...that she'll probably be instrumental in throwing them away.  But for now, they just sit there.  I guess thats part of my addiction.

[North Pack]

Throw them away, ...

[dk1677]

Gee I thought everybody knew you put them under your pillow and the pellet fairy comes at night and refills them      ( I keep 'em like Jonny)

[RedFeather]

Pillow?  You sleep with a pillow?  I used all my pillows for pellet traps ages ago.

Seriously, if you don't have any use for them and they take tin cans in your area, recycle them.  I'm still hanging on to mine, trying to figure what they are good for, but, then, I'm the child of Depression Era parents.  You who are know what I mean.

[Yellowstone]

I save em use the to keep count on rounds

[Brutuz]

I shoot them 

[pindog2000]

i shoot em and dump em
