I pull the bullet off the cartridge (with pliers), toss the powder on the
front lawn and fill the casing with oil. The powder will fertilize the lawn
and the oil will deactivate the primer. I guess the powder could ignite
when you do this, but it has never happened to me. YMMV

What should I do with those "dud" 22 long rifle cartridges/bullets that
do not fire? I usually try to fire them a 2nd or 3rd time, but sometimes
they don't fire. So I have this cartridge with bullet intact with 2 or 3
dents in the rim that I hate to just toss out in the pasture.
