How do you safely disable a round?

If you read the safety warning on the bulet puller package, it says NOT SAFE FOR USE ON RIMFIRE. because the puller holds the round at the rim the action of it can set off the round. Be safe.

BTW a fun way to get rid to dud .22 is throw them into a fire. Just run like hell
I watched it on mythbuster and they proved that the round is NOT lethal unless it is fire from a gun.

well that is my 2 cents
 
i have heard people doing this, but have no personal experience!

keep a soup can (or some type or container, re-sealable would be better) about 2/3 full of used motor oil. put you FTFs in the oil and leave them there.

a little trick i picked up at rimfire central...

of course if a specific brand of rimfire ammo is yeilding 50% FTF, it may be time to switch brands...

lol, I've been waiting for a headline like that. The bullet isn't deadly cause there's equal force acting on the bullet and the case. But if the case was lodge under something by accident, I can then see the bullet leaving at greater and deadlier speed.

All right, you've got my interest, why used motor oil? What is it supposed to do to the FTF round?:confused:

Wham-o, Cyclone, I have an old Marlin bolt action .22 and use it the same way.:agree:

Good call - they just don't seem to make 'em like they used to...have you ever compared the "imprint" on a cartridge fired in an older bolt-action to that of a cartridge fired in a newer bolt-action? ;)
 
i'm fairly sure that the oil will seep in around the bullet in the relatively loose crimp and comtaminate the gunpowder to the point that it will not ignite...

i may actually try this to see if it works...

i'm sure any petroleum based liquid would work, i think used motor oil was reccomended because it's basicly free, and has virtually no other use.
