Willing to donate? This would be my first course of action.
Any of this that you still see as being good (I have shot some 10+ old ammo without issue) I'm sure there are a number of places that could use it as a donation. Here in WI we have Learn to Hunt Programs for Turkey (and other species) don't know if your state runs such a program, or maybe a local sportsman's club youth program.

:z-guntootsmiley: Before seeing those photos, I would have agreed. However, I think we've found the one exception to the rule.

Can't imagine why anyone would want that much turkey ammo but you shouldn't have any problem selling it if you're wanting to get rid of it or tired of storing it. If not then keep it stashed in a dry environment and it'll still shoot when you're dead and gone.

That is what you call ambitious with respect to killing turkeys. Will buy the Winchester 3" lead loads.

Those Remington 3.5 #5 1 7/8 hevi Shot #5 I killed my first bird with those. Started the fever I have 2 left. Those out of my Nova and a Original .655 jelly head were bad news back when they were made. Those shells put hevi shot on the market. 1225fps folks told me to try the #6 but the time I was low nobody offered them anymore. Walmart sold them, wasn't terribly priced but was stupid high compared to lead back then.
