I inherited some old ammo

[allsitka]

Hi everyone. I inherited some old 30-30 ammo from my father in law. The tips are corroded and the brass is beat up. I don't have a 30-30 and I don't think this ammo is usable. I'd like to just get rid of it. Any suggestions. I'm in the Williston area. Thanks for your help.

The police department will take it for you.

This should not be a discussion about discarding old ammo, it should be an excuse for a new 30-30. You must be new to this.

Maybe he married wrong? I’ve heard of this happening.

If you inherited the ammo, who inherited the 30-30? Sounds like you got the short end of the stick.

Thanks for the advice fellas. I did get the short end of the stick. I don't know where said 30-30 is due to my father in law passing away. I'd definitely ask him where the gun is if I could. Although a classic rifle by any standard I'm not really looking to buy a 30-30. I do have a marlin 1895CB in 45-70 gov. so I feel I'm covered there. Probably just contact local law enforcement. Thanks.

Ive heard of people tumbling ammo to remove corrosion, Id prolly not do a vibratory one, but a drum type shouldnt hurt anything. How much do you have? Even if it looks rough on the outside, likely its fine inside if it is factory loaded. If its reloads Id scrap it.
