How to get rid of old ammo?

[loudpedal]

I have some old ammunition that has been sitting around the house for a few years. Some of it was given to me by the widow of a friend, she didn't feel safe having it around the house. Well ya can't refuse a widow can ya? So now it is collecting dust in my house and I would like to safely discard or recycle it.
I have some 7.62 x 25mm Mouser, and some 7.62 Russian Norma, and some 45cal Colt (not acp.) It has all been stored inside, and temp. controlled all of it's life.

Any thoughts?
Thanks

That got a laugh!

I've got a bunch of old 12-gauge shells and some 30-30 rounds. Plan on sending them downrange as soon as my father-in-law can join me. They are all 50+ years old.

7.62x25 gave me a reason to buy a cz-52! $100 pistol + 1260 rounds for $120 = fireball fun!

Wrong caliber, the ammo he has is for the C96 Broomhandle Mauser

If you discover some .32 Long Colt in your stash, I'll take it off your hands!

Theses are your best options. Although giving it away also works.

First of all, I'm sorry for the slow reply My post count is too low to respond to a PM. I am located on the north side of Indianapolis. I hope you don't think that I have a mountain of this stuff. It looks like I have 150+ rounds of 7.62 x 25mm also marked .30 Mouser. 20 round of 7.62 Russian, and 20 rounds of 7.7 Jap I also have 50 rounds of Remington 45cal Colt (for rifle?)
It doesn't fit anything I own, and I would be positively delighted if someone would be willing to trade some 7.62 x 39, 223 Rem, or 45cal acp for it. You can reach me at throttlejockey51@gmail.com
Cheers

I was given a few hundred rounds of 12ga & 20ga ammo. Some of it is about 20 - 30 yrs old. I just shoot it whenever I feel like blowing off alitlle steam! Works for me.

Hey guys,
I found a good home for my ammo. The guy who picked it up was a cool cat, and once again I appreciate all your help.

Bon Fire?

 

[loudpedal]

Help me here, I can understand Bon Appetite. But Bon Fire? If has a meaning beyond the obvious I would like to be schooled up on it. If not I think that you might just be wearing out your keyboard unnecessarily.

Just out of curiosity, is there an age limit where any here would feel uncomfortable firing old ammo?
