Still working on it...

What to do with all those empty pellet cans

The 7200.00 in pellets was clearly offset in beer money savings. That room really reflects all the “natural light” .
SO...if the other side ever delivers an EMP, what will become of all those metal tins?
Nothing.. and that means everything from no impact, to 'it would be that last thing I'd worry about' to vaporization.... all depending upon the source of the EMP Pulse.
Back to topic again.... the OP is looking for pellet tin use ideas. Mine was "garage art", kinda.

When I get to around 7 tins I’ll lay them out at different distances and fill them full of holes. Then it’s a trip to the recycling bin. Also nailing the main part of the tin and then screwing on the lid onto trees. It’s like a mini field target shoot.

@JCD That's pretty impressive! I recently recycled a box full of empties. If I had only known...
It looks like you went for some kind of symmetry as well. Nice! I'll try to keep you in mind after EBR practice season. And, maybe I'll stop throwing them into the trash can as hard as I have been! LOL!

I have one from before I started saving my tins.... Pic will do much better than me describing (MUCH better). It's long gone but I'll mock one up tonight or tomorrow. My kids loved it (while they shot with me...) If well designed (all scrap) think tins being launched....

Out of curiosity I filled one with melted candle wax. Shot it with my .25 Wildcat w/ 25.4 JSB. Blew a hole right thru it on the first shot. This time the Cat killed the curiosity.

I would love to buy about ten to twenty tins, screw top 22 cal . So I can start separating by weight.

Depends on what I have and what I shoot. I hate tins with lift off lids but that's all some of the pellets I shoot come in. Other pellets I shoot come in screw lid tins. When I empty a screw lid tin of pellets, I save it and refill it with pellets from a lift off lid tin. With a hair dryer I heat and carefully remove the labels using a knife then fingers, discarding the original pellet label from the screw lid and replacing it with the pellet label from the lift off lid. Cuts down on spilled pellet incidents and allows me to carry, say, AA Heavy Fields in the side pouch of my soft case without the tin opening. Then I shoot those nasty empty lift off lid tins just for GP. Eventually you'll have more screw lid tins than you need and you can give new ones to your buddies.

To continue the idea of recycling pellet tins, I took the "Ted Targets" that @NMshooter brought to our attention to another level. I made these "SkeeterHawk Spinning Ted Targets":
I went ahead and outlined how to put them together step-by-step over on the Resources page here. I wanted a target that I didn't have to go out and reset. Here is a quick demonstration that I posted with the assembly instructions:
Keep up the recycling efforts, my brothers (and sisters). We're saving the planet, one Plink at a time
Happy plinking!

OK, I must say that I got a considerable amount of joy from shooting my empty pellet tins today, watching them spin around, and am looking forward to destroying the rest. I'd say that I am getting at least $0.50 worth of pleasure from each tin right now, so how are they compensating you?
