Not much ammunition turned in to be destroyed.
Canadian geese. smh

I know how to dispose of old ammo. You put it in a rifle and pull the trigger.
Decades ago in Tampa, within a week or so of each other, two WWII vets died. Their widows discarded their war souvenirs in the trash. Each had an unneutered artillery shell. Welllll, artillery shells don’t like getting compacted. The government and the media saturated the area with TV stories, newspaper ads and flyers to help people identify unexploded ordinance. I don’t recall any injuries but there were two garbage trucks totaled. (Probably a couple of sanitation engineers needed new pants.)
That is the only thing I’d consider giving away. I inherited some boxes of foreign ammunition for guns I did not own. I asked around and found eager takers.
Come on people! Share the ammo!
They’ll probably take most of it home.
“Every little pond and pothole has its resident Canadian goose population”
Canada geese named after John Canada, the ornithologist and taxonomer who distinguished it from other species of geese.
Few get this right.
Some of the really old stuff use corrosive mercuric primers which will eat up the bore if you don't clean the rifle very soon after firing.
BUT I just sold a full box of 6mm Lee-Navy for $600 so some of the old stuff can be quite profitable.
Note the heavy gloves of the guy handling the annunition. Head Shake.
And for note, I have some really old shot shells that I would not dare fire in a shotgun now. The powder can explode faster after long shelf life.
My dad gave away some .348 ammo because it kicked so badly in the Model 72 Winchester to want to shoot it. (was pretty hard to find at the time)
I bought some new brass, reloading dies and bullets for that rifle. I bought the Hornady Lever Evolution bullets to reload it.
“We’re able to collect it and manage it for proper disposal, and solve a problem...”
How about selling it to the public ....dumshit.
I was happy to find a hundred rounds of 5.56 ammo the other day for only .50 round.
And I don’t even LIKE 5.56.
