Default RE: AMMO Disposal

Well I have a variety of ammo, shotgun and rifle, that I don't even have an idea of how old it is. My Dad had an old gun that he never fired, he said it was a 6.5 mm Italian Army rifle, that was used in some war. It has a heart and some initials carved in to the stock andstuff like that. He had a few clips of ammo for it. After he died, it was given to me. I also have some shotgun shells some of which I know are 30+ years old. That is why I was asking, but it seems as if the shelf life can be indefinite. I will say though, that the ammo was not stored in a controlled or real dry environment. But I take it, by your comments, that I should look for discoloration or other types of issues with each round.

If I find some problems, though, how is it properly disposed of?
