Disposing of really old trash ammo...

[BigMoose]

I have a bunch of mismatched junk ammo that a grandparent left behind.

All of it shows signs of bad corosion and the shotgunshells show signs of being swelled out. Most of it is rimfire stuff.

Obviously I wont be shooting it. Some of this crap may be old enough to have corosive primers too. Is there an easy way to "demil" it. I would like to be rid of it.

Give it to me, i will sort out what i think is firable and nonfireable. Ill shoot what i think is good and get rid of the rest.

seriously, 30 minutes in a tumbler and you might be suprised how much is again shootable.

If I remember right most of this junk is 22 long (NOT 22 LR, but long) and 22 short...

I have not seen that crap in ages...

Would it be safe to take pliers and pulls the leads out of the 22s?

Just give it to me and I'll dispose of it for you.

If you have a vice, put the bullet in the vice and grab the body of the case with the pliers and separate the two. If you need any help disposing of the rest, let me know, I'm in boone county.

Well if some of you really want it. I will give it to you lol. Saves me the hassle. Just be warned it's the nastiest crap I have ever seen.....

I do that all the time with bad 22LRs. Easy to do, particularly when you only have a small quantity to handle. One needle nose for the case and another to twist off the bullet. Not sure how long it would take on a larger quantity.

Yes, I do this with my 22 long rifles
