I pitch 'em under my shed. Spent primer dust runs the skunks and 'possums off.

| I toss them in the flower bed so somebody 50 years from now can dig them up and wonder what they are. |

Use em for sling shot ammo for the grandkids. They whistle when you shoot em and curve a little bit. If you hit them off the side of a tree just right they bounce and make a neat noise. Fun to shoot at duck decoys when nothing is going on to keep young ones entertained.

I repackage them in their original containers and sell them to bargain hunters looking for used reloading componants.  |

I think they're best with oatmeal and brown sugar.
Or you can mix them in with your crunchy peanut butter, and you'll never notice the difference. |

A while back at work one of the guys was saying that a groundhog had started burrowing under a shed at his place.
One of the other guys said "the best way to get rid of them is to throw a piece of lefse under there, but then you have to worry about getting rid of the Norwegians that move in"

This may or may not be true.....a guy made a pot of beans....threw in a handful of spent primers....tasted pretty good.....he ate a bunch.....next morning he went out to pick up the paper....bent over.....shot the headlights out of the neighbor's car.
Believe it....or don"t. |

Well, I want to thank everybody for the fine suggestions, the oatmeal didn't work to well. On my way to the dentist to get fitted for a new upper plate. Should have just saved them to put in the garden. The beans and primers sounds okay though. Just don't have any neighdors to shoot out headlights though. Well got to go. Have to sift out the rest of the oatmeal.
Edited. I tried it with the beans, but I was bashfull, I hid behind a tree.
