How to dispose of live round

[D3vo]

I have 1 round of 7.62 x 39 that would not fire. I purchased a bullet puller to pull the bullet. I did some Internet searches that said you can pour the powder in the yard. What I could not find was consensus on how to permanently deactivate the primer. What do you say?

[Garufa]

Squirt some oil in it.

Hit it with a hammer.

Hit it with a hammer.

So why are you not a "Subject Matter Expert"?

[nightrunner]

Throw it in a fire

Since we're piling on:

Poke it with a stick.

Next time you cross the bridge, pitch it out into priest.

[hipower]

Start a collection of dud rounds.

Since it did not fire, I expect it is permanently deactivated.

bury it

Save it for dry fire trigger pull work.

And use the bullet for muzzle sizing.

Find a pool of deep, clear water . . . .

Use a bullet puller, aka pliers, to remove the bullet. Pour the powder in a yellow jacket nest. Drop a match in the hole. Save the case for dry fire practice.

Use them for studs on your snow tires.

Guys, you forgot my favorite, pull the bullet, pour the powder on your roses (they really like it) and shoot the primer with a BB gun!

Will it blend?

[MacGyver]

I dispose of all my live ammunition through the barrel - the way the good Lord told John Moses Browning it should be done.

[Dolomite`s Breezy]

Hug it. squeeze it... and call it George.....

[glowdotGlock]

Put it in the microwave. It will loosen the casing from the bullet and easily allow you to pull the bullet out with your teeth...

Leave it on the desk of an anti-gun coworker. Mucho entertainment will follow. Edited December 8, 2012 by DaddyO
