.22 shells

Recommended Posts

On another site I posted about the use of .22 shells as hair stackers.

Another tier replyed that I could put a bunch into a board and have all the materials stacked and ready to go.I finnally got to trying it and it really speeds up the process when You need 2 dozen clumps of hair stacked and ready to go onto a compara pattern.

I use old shells that have been sitting around for a long time.

They are CB's so they didn't contain a lot of powder.

Buying them would be a good idea.

I picked up my empty shells at a firing range. Nice selection of sizes- .22, .38, .44. To clean them, I soaked them overnight in water and dishsoap, then swabbed them out with a Q-tip soaked in rubbing alcohol which eliminated the last of the powder residue and odor.
