Dud round disposal

[Joe13]

Then what? Looking for serious answers. I know we are not talking nuke waste here. But what does your club/range business do with a bucket of duds?

Take a pair of pliers and yank the lead and dispose of it and trade in the brass or burry it. Lots of people will buy bulk lead for bullets or fishing weights.

I throw them into the tall grass then hit them with the lawnmower!

Douglas Ridge Rifle Club has "dud" cans, painted red.
Duds are collected, pulled apart and recycled.
Except powder. Powder gets burned with the burn pile (behind the 200 yard berm.

Pulled it down, cleaned it up, new primer and powder, reloaded it and shot it!! The same treatment the gun got.

Pull bullet, dump powder (too contaminated after being in the puller), sometimes recycle the bullet keeping that round marked for note. Recycle the brass.

Ammo in a blender; interesting. Back when I first started reloading my grandfather did not approve. He thought it was terribly dangerous. Primers or powder might explode just by looking at them. Resizing brass was dangerous because what if that brass still had a live primer.

Another time an acquaintance scolded me for carrying a few .22 lr rounds in my pocket. What if it got bumped just right? He was certain I'd blow myself up or shoot off important parts.

Pretty amazing that that blender didn't go up in a mushroom cloud, with stray bullets killing everyone for miles around.
