The management says no, but the salesman I'm talking to says he could sure use them,

I tell him I'm needing #8 shot, and he just happens to have quite a lot, as he just took up pistol shooting and cut down on his trap shooting. Since Primers are going for about $100 - $110 p/1000 (I have 2000 to spare) and shot is going for $65 a 25 lb bag, we made a even swap for 3 bags of shot.

I have plenty of shot shell primers and wads and still have 4 lbs powder, so I'm back into reloading for my Trap and skeet guns again.

And the nice thing is no money changed hands. For what I have in the various components I figure I can reload for about $4.60 a box. That sure beats $9.50 plus tax per box.
