Default RE: AMMO Disposal

Ammo, properly stored, does not "go bad" like cheese, milk and AA batteries.

People swear that gun shops are ammo dumps. And as long as the ammo is good, I'll take it and shoot it myself. People refuse to believe me. Hey, I haven't bought .45 ball ammo in over a year. The WWII stuff still goes bang everytime. Same for '06. Often, if the ammo is still in working condition, our gunsmith will use it to test function repair guns. Keeps costs down.

Now, if you have corroded cases and they are all busted up, then don't shoot them (dee de dee). Only way to dispose of them is to bring them to the police station and turn them in. Thats where we send people all the time with stuff that is unuseable.
