Disposal of new ammo thats bad

[bacher2741]

I bought some American Brand .45acp ammo on the arfcom website and I should have done my homework before I bought it. After it was shipped to me I did a search on the web and I came across several bad reviews. When I received it the first thing I noticed was that it will not fit in my mags. The first round will go in but the second one won't and then the first one jams. In the reviews it talked about this and also of way hot loads that in some cases so hot that it damaged firearms. I don't want to destoy my firearm so I am looking for some sensible options. Can it be reloaded? Is it worth the hassle? How do I dispose of it if reloading is not an option?

Thanks

Personally, I would break it up into components.

Is the OAL overall length different on each round?

Gun ranges usually have a bucket for faulty live ammo, you could visit one and dump them in there.

If you have the ability to reload, pull the bullets, destroy the powder, and reload them with your own. The tricky part would be resizing the casings if you have a die that includes a decapper, and don't want to mess with taking it out. Or, you could just load up the empty cases and pop the primers with your gun. I would not toss away a box of ammo that can be rehabilitated.

Throw it in a fire.

How many rounds do you have? I will take it off of your hands.....

Good idea/\/\/\

If you do not reload maybe you can trade it to someone who does. Maybe trade it for lessons on how to reload.

Or buy a revolver to shoot it out of.
