9mm luger ammo

Hey guys, my friend gave me 80 rounds 9mm luger rounds which I do not need. So how much are those worth? I believe they are reloads.

Thanks.

did he reload them? or are they factory reloads? IMO not worth selling. Just take them to the range and burn through them, it wont take you long ;)

He's a collector and not a member of a range (Information gathered from another post he recently made).

Give them away to someone who can/will use them.
 
If you trust the person that reloaded the cartridges, shoot them. If source is unknown, I would not fire them in my pistol. One KABOOM can ruin your whole day.

And this is one of the dumbest off hand suggestions I have seen in a long time!
If someone doesn't know better and thinks you are serious they could throw them into a fire and cause injury.
Yes, ammunition could be destroyed by burning, but in a proper container to contain the shards of brass and stuff that will fly around. Done by someone who understands what they are doing, OK, but not based on the dearth of information provided.
If you can, break it down, or give it to someone who can break it down. Don't throw it into the garbage, or a fire.
 
^^^ Lol.


You live in Moronto. Toss them in the street, grab a coffee, sit back, and watch the ETF get their rocks off. Let 'em justify buying those fancy schmancy Oakleys!


Use your imagination, man!
 
You can also drop them off at pretty much any police station to be destroyed free of charge. Just call ahead and make sure they're ok with you bringing it in. If you're really nice, they'll even send out a police officer to pick them up at your house if you want.

Actually, I was being serious. When a cartridge is not contained within a chamber it simply pops when pressure builds up. Ive tossed hundreds of rounds in the fire.

It's still a stupid idea...

Sometimes the brass casing will be propelled out of the fire with considerable force. Usually not enough to cause more than a nice bruise or cut but definitely not harmless. Especially if you get one in the eye!

Put that suggestion in the "dumb" column.

ussually correct. and yes, i've done it too with glasses on. but it's still less then clever. My grandfather accidently swept up a 44 mag round that had fallen under his work bench in a shop clean up and dumped it into the wood stove. He swung the door open to fire in the next bucket of wood scrap and it cooked off, hitting the bottom of the galvanized pail he had hard enough to leave a healthy dent in it and knock it out of his hands. Wouldn't have killed ya, but probably would have left a nasty bruise. Never mind if it hit an eye..
