    I had old 12ga shells that were a little rusty they ranged in shot size, nothing in the 7-1/2 or 8 so I had no need for it. I called Clinton Twp police the guy who I talked to told me to put it in garbage at curb , so I did .

    I shoot it unless there is really an issue with it. I have 400-500 shotgun shells 15 years old and i shoot them every so often. I have 30 year old rifle ammo i see no issues shooting. I have shot 40 year old military surplus.

    If at first you don't succeed, don't skydive.

    The person that taught my cpl class is a Warren police officer. He mentioned that people bring old ammunition in all the time to the police department. He said he shoots most of it, because practice.

    What about half cans of old powder? We have been going through my late father in laws stuff. I've found a few hundred shotgun shells, old 30-06, 30-30, 32 win special, a few 50 BMG's with belt clips, and a couple half empty cans of powder? Not sure what to do with the powder.

    Usually already opened powder, especially old stuff doesn't have much value as people shy away for safety reasons. If they are really old cans the cans themselves have a little value as collectibles. You can dump unwanted powder into the garden as it quickly just becomes fertilizer. I would probably run water on it to aid in the break down.
