What do you do with unusable but unfired ammo?

[jakes01234]

Shove it in a piece of shot up wood on the berm and see if you can shoot the primer end of it.

Thats what i do.. usually with bad .22 but would also do it to larger calibers

 

[Trouble]

Give it to inner city gangbangers.

Winchester white box 9mm always seems to have 102 or 103 rounds in it. Anyone else notice this?

... back in the day, when it was a better deal, sometimes it was also a round or two short, too. My experience was sometimes you'd get like 99, sometimes you'd get like 103, and a lot of times it was right on 100.

Throw them in your fireplace at thanksgiving dinner! Everyone will leave and you can enjoy the night in peace

Toss it into a co-worker's briefcase, as s/he leaves for the airport.

No in MA its brass in a public school, for the full blown pant shitting hysterics.

This! It gets the SWAT team out, hostage negotiators, school lock down, every news team in a 75 mile radius and the neighborhood evacuated. With some luck you may get a few copters circling overhead.

Its been posted, but it bears repeating:

Call the manufacturer, they will have you send it back in the original box and compensate you for your troubles.

That would have made sense and if I had been thinking I would have saved the boxes, but they are gone now. Oh well. I'll look for a dud can at the range.

 

[economist]

Wait, aren't we just supposed to toss them in the cup of the guy at the off-ramp?

I bet you got a dirty look

 

[Cerfur]

Dump it in the ocean.... or dig a hole and bury it.. that's what the goverment does with our trash. So why not..

 

[Peicemaker]

chuck it in the woods, the ocean, a lake, pond or other body of water... problem solved

or trash.

Mail it to your congressman, let him deal with it. Don't forget to include a return address so he can thank you.

 

[TayNinh_66]

give it out at halloween. How else are the kids going to get bullets so they can smash them with a rock. We used to go down to the sand pit. Always found something. Theyre ruining childhood.

 

[LittleCalm]

Pull out bullet; dump powder; soak primer in WD40; trash.

 

[swampy]

I usually eat them with a bit of grape preserves.


I'd really like to try leaving them in the public restroom idea. Mass, I like the way you think.

Just don't leave your fingerprints all over it!

Out of the last couple of boxes of Federal 9mm target ammo, I have two rounds that came from the factory not usable - they had the top of the casing folded folded under in a spot. Setting aside the lack of quality control at Federal that allowed me to get two of these rounds withing maybe three boxes, what do you do with ammo like that? I don't want to throw it in the trash, obviously, but on the other hand, I don't want to have a growing collection of useless ammo, either. (I have an older .22 that has semi-routine failures which occasionally ruins a round as well)

Every once in a while a reload will turn out that way. If it chambers I shoot it. If it doesn't chamber I disassemble it and reuse whatever components I can save.

In MA -

1. Wipe prints off cartridge
2. Find a car with an anti-gun or obama sticker on it that has an open window on it. (Prob no FID/LTC)
3. Toss in car
4. Make an anonymous call and report the plate driving erratically.
5. Let moonbat experience the laws they cheer for first hand.
lol

LOL at this one. Nice work.

 

[Bendad97]

Take them down to the Cape and toss them on the lawn of the Kennedy Compound/National Museum of Rum Running.

 

[ns939393]

I put them in my buddies range bag when he looking. Someday maybe he will clean it out and notice.

 

[Nitro]

Throw it at a target? I mean you paid for it, you might as well see it fly.

 

[Maxxum2012]

That made me laugh out loud.

[Retired-LEO]

Take a cup or can & add a little penetrating oil (like WD40 or???)... enough that the bullet is submerged.

Leave it soaking in there. The penetrating oil will kill the primer.

You still might want to contact the MFG. they might send coupons!

 

[loki32687]

If you threw out the box, maybe buy another box and send it in?
