Old Ammo

[BigKvn1]

Whats the correct way to discard old ammo. Most of its multiple decades old, and has not been stored properly. Other than dumping in the garbage. 200 rds of mutiple calibers. Here in Kern County. My dad was asking....

Dissassemble and discard the powder on the lawn. The case, bullet and primer are probably ok. Donate to a reloader.

Why on the lawn?

power is good fertilizer and will make a green spot.

It takes a lot to ruin ammo, and age is usually not a factor. Are you sure it's ruined?

ask a local range if they take and discard old ammo.

bring it to a range and ask them to dispose of them.

Being old is not necessarily being bad. Unless there is obvious corrosion or damage, or it was stored in a very hot container/place, it generally will be safe to shoot.

Of course, if you have no firearms to shoot it from, taking it to a local range will, at least, make someone happy.

If you are anywhere near Taft, Wes at Ten Percent Firearms would likely be happy to "discard" it for you

I took mine to the local Police station they took it no questions asked.

LMFAO

Factory ammo? Shoot it!

Unknown powder load reloaded ammo? Great for the lawn!

I recently had a few hundred .38 special wadcutter rounds given to me, and I absolutely cannot break them down with a impact bullet remover. Very well crimped!
I may just have to soak those in oil and discard them.
Now, that's a bummer....
