Discard Bullets Warranty For Free

What's the shelf life of ammo? Modern ammo is made to last over a decade (and possibly up to twenty years), provided you stick to proper storage practices.

Local gun ranges will accept unwanted ammunition, and even sometimes accepts dud rounds so as to dispose of them safely and effectively. Police stations will also sometimes accept small amounts of ammunition. Make sure to call the local number for the police station to ask if they're accepting ammunition.

Cartridge cases are most commonly made of brass, although steel is also widely used, and cases for shotgun pellets are made of brass and cardboard. The cases of most military rifles and machine guns have a bottleneck shape, allowing a small-calibre bullet to be fitted to a large propelling charge.

Dispose of Unserviceable Ammunition: You should dispose of any ammunition that has been exposed to fire or water, as it may be dangerous when fired. When disposing of ammunition, do not bury it or dump it in water. Most of the time, you can return unserviceable ammunition directly to the manufacturer.

While recycling ammunition may not be as simple as recycling a plastic water bottle, it is possible. Used ammunition is simply a brass casing. Wash them out to rid the casing of any lingering gunpowder and then find a recycling center that accepts scrap metal, particularly brass shell casings.

Place the empty casing in your trash bag. This has been your hunting season reminder that empty shells should be taken to the local police station for safe disposal. Visit the nearest police station to you for safe ammunition disposal.
