I have a lot of old powder and pyrodex that I just don't trust anymore.
Is there any place around Cobb you guys know of that will take if for disposal? I tried the sherriff's office b4 I left La. but they would not longer take it b/c their stockpile was getting too big. Thanks. |

I have about a pound + that I need to get rid of as well.
Anyone have a creative (legal) way to get rid of it?? Thanks in advance. |

Mix it with a few gallons of water?

Water sounds like a pretty good idea to me.

Smokeless gunpowder is an excellent fertilizer. Spread it out on your lawn.
The pyrodex is flammable. Just burn it. |

Thats what I do. When I pull ammo apart I usually just throw it out in the yard. By morning it's totally useless. |

Some people live an entire lifetime and wonder if they have ever made a difference in the world, but the Marines don't have that problem.
|
hmm..make some fire crackers?

I always pour it (smokeless powder) into small piles or into a skinny line on a rock wall or on the driveway away from anything that could catch on fire. I then light it and watch it burn. Just don't make a big pile or the flame will get kinda high.

+2 on the fertilizer Just keep the piles of Pyrodex very small! |

anything less than 800rnds wasn't worth getting the gun dirty.

Looks like I have some yard work to do.
Thanks guys. |

I used to pour small quantities of power on my concrete driveway and torch it, smokeless powder burns HOT! I'd whip out a bunch of ammo, run out of bullets or powder and decide to switch to another powder, so I'd have an ounce or two leftover to torch. |
