Anybody come up with a good use for 50 empty pellet tins besides the home recycling container?

I have heard that Predator International will buy them from you, for a small sum, if undamaged and they match their current tins.— JSB

I put my pocket change in them and toss a couple in my vehicle console. Very handy when I buy fast food, or a convenience store when I just want a soft drink. Local tavern seems to appreciate getting pocket change instead of making it.

I use them on my work bench while disassembling item to hold small parts and to hold used cleaning patches while doing maintenance.

I also use them to hold original stock parts when I upgrade items, wrap blue tape around them and mark the firearm on it and stack them on a shelf.

Put a magnetic strip inside first to hold small screws, etc..

Some bullet weights and bass hooks, or other terminal tackle, to toss your your coat pocket or glove box.

Flies for flyfishing, with a vinyl refrigerator magnet (our plumber gives them to us) trimmed to fit inside.

Flyfishing leaders.

Small spare parts.

Epoxy mixing.

Doobies / reefers if you’re into that.
