Ammo Disposal?

[Cabin Fever]

How do you dispose of old unwanted ammo? I thought I heard at one time that you could turn it over to any police agency and they would get rid of it for you? Not sure though? Would like to clean out the gun safe one of these days.

Yep, your local PD should be able to take care of it. There are lots of guys out there that collect old ammo as well.

Simple...gather a large 55 gallon drum,get newspaper, wood, old motor oil,and a old tire. Put the items in drum, light and let burn for 10 minutes. Gather ammo into large container, walk to drum, throw in ammo, and run like hell. After a few minutes you will hear banging and ricocheting. Don't worry...its all part of the process.Lol

However do not be cheap and try junking the brass by putting the bullets in a vice and hitting the primers with a nail. http://www.thehighroad.org/archive/index.php/t-277392.html

****EDIT**** This is a joke, do not do this

Be careful what you say in the internet, people just might listen.

How much ammo? If it's just a box or two maybe someone you know has a press-puller/extractor. Well, for rifle rounds at least.

[Doewhacker]

Maybe there is some one on here that could use some of it?

[Culvercreek hunt club]

It isn't .357 or .38 special is it...lol

The local police will take it. They are constantly getting rid of ammo they take in in weapons.

Don't laugh, some of it is .357!! LOL

[Pygmy]

What kind of ammo have you got ??

I might be interested in it... Damn shame giving perfectly good ammo away to the police...

[Culvercreek hunt club]

I might know someone intersted in teh 357 or 38. I just bought one.

I'm not sure what all there might be. Mainly odds and ends, box of this and that to see what brand/load the gun likes better, etc... Some old stuff, that I might question it's accuracy. It can't be mailed and probably wouldn't be worth the gas to pick it up anyway. You would be better off using the gas money and buying new stuff.

I probably have more .357's (100+) and .38's (~150) set aside for you already than you'll shoot in a year!! LOL Taking care of ya! That .357 isn't use to all that "exercise"!!

[ny hunter]

Why can't you mail it I buy ammo om line a lot.I would interested if we could work away to ship it.

[Single_shot]

Ammo has to ship via UPS or Fedex ground. Do not take it to the post office....you will go to jail. UPS ground with the ORMD sticker is fairly cheap....I have shipped 1000s of rounds this way.UPS imo is the best priced.

[Salmon_Run]

Check with your local police / sheriff office first; they may or may not accept that much. It become a task to log all that into evidence then bury it properly and account through evidence logs that all was destroyed.

Try a local gun club or make arrangement here to find a "good home" for what you have.

I have seen they evidence of someone who tried to "burn off" some active rounds.................. NOT PRETTY !!!

Not so cheap anymore prices have skyrocketed out of control. Just sent 7 boxed of 16 gauge Brenneke slug, in the past it cost me 7.50. 3 days ago it cost me 13.00 dollars, I almost pooped a pickle. Wasn't worth mailing for me.
