mvmojo Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Maybe a dumb topic but as I was hunting and pecking to fill 12 primer tubes today I started to wonder what I could do with the little 100 hole primer packaging trays. Anybody figured out a way to repurpose these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pathfinder1 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Same thought has run through my mind several times, but haven't come up with anything yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevrofreak Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 It would be nice if there was simply a way to return them for reuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[caution, thread drift warning] I learned a trick for doing searches. I just use google and entered “what to do with empty primer trays”. Several forums will show in the results and Enos forums are always there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muncie21 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Another way to use google to search a specific site is to add "Site:" (quotes not required) then the name of the site and finally the search term. The example below would search Enos forum for '9 major'. site:forums.brianenos.com 9 major Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniperboy Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 (edited) If I am mailing a small item that may break or puncture out of the padded envelope (for example a Glock connector or some fragile part) I put it in a federal tray first. This allows the part to be protected while keeping the package lightweight and still be able to be sent first class under 4 oz. They federal trays are also great catch all trays. My Dillon 550 has a habit of spitting out spent primers on my bench like spent sunflower seeds for some odd reason and once I figured out where they were going, put a tray there and pretty much took care of the problem. For a few years now I have been saving a bunch of trays in the hopes of having an "Ah ha!" moment. No luck yet.

Jim Watson Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I have several of the large Federal trays with the reinforcing ribs cut out to use for gun parts or a few rounds of ammo. Doesn't say what to do with the large numbers a regular shooter accumulates, though. I don't know why they don't mold in recycle code numbers. My city only takes 1 and 2; PET and HDPE.

RePete Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I guess that I'm lucky, I throw them into the recycle bin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKnoch Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Maybe a dumb topic but as I was hunting and pecking to fill 12 primer tubes today I started to wonder what I could do with the little 100 hole primer packaging trays. Anybody figured out a way to repurpose these things. Empty primer trays fit perfectly inside of a trash bag.

Ming the Merciless Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I've been reloading for many, many years, so I had about a bajillion primer trays. You've seen these RaceDeck garage floor tiles, that made me all ambitious so I took the primer trays and threw them all in a 35 gallon trash bag like DKnoch.
