How To Get Rid Of Old Ammo
May 22, 2018 - So.you've found some old ammunition lying around. What do you do with it? Know if its still good. If so, there's no need to actually get rid of it.
Morning everyone! My wife’s family was doing some cleaning at her Grandmother house and came across some old ammo and was instructed to “get rid of it”. A few boxes of calibers that I own, I was allowed to keep, there are however maybe a dozen rounds of randoms a few of which look to be surplus with no clear ID marks/stampings. What would be the best method to dispose of these? I live in the burbs, so sticking them bullet down in the dirt is not really what I have in mind.thanks for any input.

A lot of old ammo is VERY collectible.Selling it on GB is easy, and it can be shipped by UPS inexpensively.The most complicated part (which isn't), is you download and print this label out:Also, create a UPS Account. Free, simple, and you save a LOT on shipping.AND - you really do not have to print the label out at all. If you are good with a black marker, you can draw a similar label right on the box.Ammo I have shipped was in the original box.Alternately, I'd grab some paper and place each round in a rolled paper tube, closed with tape.
So as to protect the tip and the primer.You'd not want to just toss it all randomly in a box.

The lovely classical name for brass corrosion is 'vertigris', originally used to define the sad condition of disused knight's armor fittings. I think the word just means, 'pale green stuff.' If there is more than what will come off easily with a scotchbrite pad, the case could be weakened and might split inside your gun's chamber.I once bought a 500-round can of fifty-year-old.30-carbine military ammo.

The loose ammo had been moved between several different cans, but generally well stored. Only a few rounds had spots of vertigris, which came off with a thumbnail. Not a single round failed to function perfectly, and were even loaded a bit 'hot'.elsullo.
