Bullet Set Back Danger and Disposing of Ammo Safely
So I have a .40 caliber pistol I’m selling, and I’m throwing in my sd ammo as a selling point. I decided to look at the ammo for set back, and sure enough, two of the rounds have slight set back. My question (and I know there are several threads on this) is it really that dangerous to shoot these bullets? I think it probably isn’t since there are probably thousands of rounds out there with slight set back and if it was as dangerous as people make it out to be, there would be guns being blown up all over the world. I know that .40 S&W is a really high pressure round so I acknowledge that the danger may be higher in this case than with a low pressure round like .45 ACP.
Ok, lets say it is highly dangerous and I need to dispose of these rounds. What is the safest way to do so?
Your Thoughts?
