Vetty Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 Just wondered how to dispose of about a dozen old carts I found Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 Firstly show us a picture because they may be collectable. Other than that cut them open and empty the contents, powder on your garden and next time you have a garden fire throw the primer end on that for a Nov 5th effect. Just a sharp crack as the flames do the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old farrier Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 Be aware that the primers can go off at a fair pace not advisable to stand to close if you choose the bonfire method or have techy neighbours alternately take to local rfd and he should have a system in place for the disposal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 Blimey, shoot them after a wipe-over with a squirt of WD40. They should kill Wood Pigeons if you are on form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fellside Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 If it goes does go bang (or pop), do make sure to check for a stuck wad up the spout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have run a brass sizing ring down many a swollen case before now so it would go in the chamber and many of these had that little black arrow found on many 12 gauge cartridges after the last war which had not been stored in good conditions. They all still did the job and put meat on the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a dropped one about like this. It fired no probs and took the target.

Trying to keep in theme with the thread as a whole; maybe that green cartridge will have as much explosive power as "the holy hand grenade of antioch." 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
