Bad ammo rounds
Just read your article on ammo.
When you come across a round that shouldn’t be shot, how do you safely dispose of the bad round?
Thanks from a new gun owner,

If you have a bullet puller, you can safely disassemble defective cartridges, thus salvaging the components.
Some folks soak them in metal penetrating oil, which after long enough usually renders them inert, and then just throw them away.
NEVER simply toss them in the trash as that can cause an accidental shrapnel injury to someone when the round in the garbage goes into the chopper or the incinerator.
Personally, I just bury them.
Best,
