That is not what a "cut shell" looks like.Never heard of a cut shell?

No but if he was gonna hammer it in to the breach that might be a “safer” thing to do.That is not what a "cut shell" looks like.
Can't the powder be used?I would sit down and remove the lead from the shells and then make the primers inert, either by firing them (after powder and shot is removed!!) or adding oil. Somone can use the shot, if you can't. Powder can become fertilizer.

Think I've got 70 something 300BO laying around somewhere.This evening, I ordered a Faxon 16" 300 Blk "Gunner profile" carbine gas barrel. Last week, I picked up a set of Hornady Custom grade 300 blk dies; got 1 pound of SW Blackout, primers, and a couple hundred 160gr/180gr/200gr cast lead powder coated bullets. Just got get brass; or a bunch of 223 brass, and a cut off jig.
So you may not mean to be but you’re referencing two different things on AR barrels. M4 cuts, and M4 barre profiles.Can anyone tell me the rational behind the "cuts" or contours often seen in M$ barrels.
The thin section back from the muzzle is most puzzling.

My view is muzzle whip would be greater with that reduced section,
But what do I know?
I'm not wondering about feed ramps.So you may not mean to be but you’re referencing two different things on AR barrels. M4 cuts, and M4 barre profiles.
First the profile, the thinness of the barrel from the muzzle back is so the gas block can slide over the barrel to it’s spot at the gas port. There is a length difference of the “thicker” part of the barrel between the breach and where the gas port sits and are generally pistol, carbine, and rifle lengths (the M4 is carbine length).
Next is M4 cuts or not, these cuts are in the barrel extension that fits in the upper. It’s hard to explain without a picture so here are the differences.
Hope that helps.
