old rusty cartridge


Recommended Posts

Ive just been having a root around the garage and have found a box of mixed shotty cartridges. These were from when i was last shooting clays around 1990 :icon_redface: . They all look pretty decent so i will have a blast with them but one has gone rusty, the pin looks ok , just around it. Will it fire ? if not, how do i dispose?? thanks

cut a hole in the cartridge, with a sharp blade, ie knife, not angle grinder, hacksaw, then dip in a small pot of oil for about a day, then dig a hole in the ground and throw it in, failing that mix a little bit of morter and place the cartridge in it then dig a hole. thats what i do but i live in the sticks were no-one will dig it up... :thumbs:

just cut the cart in half, empty the shot then pull the wad out and empty the powder content onto a slab or steel plate, form a thin line with the powder then just touch one with a match. It burns very slowly so no worries ( you will be suprised how slow) . then just drop the remaining cart in the gun and fire off the primer and job done.
