If it was brass cased I'd take it if your just looking to give it away, well depending on location that is.

Ide take it if we met local to Bridgewater or Plainfield, if its brass cased

Be careful with it. We are having issues with ammo that came into contact with Sandy. Squib loads etc...

I would be careful with any ammo that might be damaged. You might be liable for any damage or possible issues that might arise from it.

 

Sometimes your good intentions cause you harm.

Salt water damage is unlike anyother out there, you may be able to save the brass and tumble it but I would not try chambering

the round and firing it.

Exactly what I was thinking of doing with it, but I don't see any response from the OP here or via PM, might have just disposed of it via one of the means he was mentioning.

_{Hey Guy's. I gave the ammo to someone local. Thanks for the replies.}

No Problem, just checking they weren't looking to shoot it Right?

NO he is not going to shoot it.Just wants the brass.Hopefully he can clean it up.That salt water is nasty stuff.Cant believe what it did after 1 day of being on everything!!

Last week I took 100 rounds of 45 Colt and a box of plastic shotshells that were under 36" of water from the storm to a cowboy match. Two Colts and one shotshell didn't go bang.

In total, had 1500 rounds of Colts, 12 boxes of 50 or 100 round BPCR reloads and 11 cases of shotshells under water. Squirted them with engine fogging oil + Eezox. Plan to shot them all up. Then clean the brass in the rotary tumbler with burnishing solution and media. I cleaned close to 1000 cases in inventory (25-20 to 50-70). All cleaned up like new

Of course not that exact same circumstances but it brought up memories for me.

 

Years ago I recovered several thousand rounds of 30-06 and 45 ACP from a ship wreck.

The boat sunk in 1918 in about 110' of water.

 

Most of the ammo was trash. A lot of it cleaned up nice for display (powder removed) and some of it was buried enough that it was very clean and dry. Never did anything with the rifle stuff, but I did fire about a dozen rounds of the 45 with no issues.

 

Was a lot younger then and wouldn't do that now

Was looong before the ban on taking anything

Don't worry, I'm sure you safe. I really don't think anyone cares about 100 year old ocean ammo.
