Doc Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Along with the corroded rifle ammunition, I also acquired a couple of boxes of nasty looking shotgun slugs that are definitely throw-aways. I want to dispose of it in a way that is safe. Throwing them in the garbage does not seem really safe for the trash pick-up guys so I was wondering what is the best way of disposing of loaded and primed slugs. Is there a recommended way to dispose of ammo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawdwaz Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Plastic or paper hulls? Cut open and burn the powder. Put slugs in battery landfill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveboone Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Other than feeding them to possums, I had several boxes of shells stored carelessly that were swollen/etc. I cut the cases open , poured out the lead to recast, and the powder is actually very benign. spread it on the lawn or mix it in kitty litter, etc. You could put a drop of oil on the primer, but I wouldnt worry too much about that.
