You are breaking the law just by having them in your possession if you don't have a firearms licence. Take them to the cop shop and they will pass them on to the army for disposal.

As far as selling them goes, probably not worth it as .22LR ammo is only about 10c per round retail.

I'll take it off your hand mate - have licence etc

Send some this way lol

Can only ditch ammo in "deep water", over 300 fathoms if I recall correctly.

Yeah, but it's not like it's an A-bomb he's wanting rid of!

Yup! I hear you need a whole Atoll for those things!

That is a serious suggestion. You can safely burn ammunition. The military does it this way by usually throwing rounds into a large incinerator. It is quite common to shovel large amounts of ammo in at once. It just goes "pop!".

The round is not surrounded by steel, so doesn't have the capacity to put energy in one direction.

Shotgun shells just go sspppttttttthhhhhh.

Get one of those firearms owners who have already asked, to take it off your hands. Once it has passed into their hands (after seeing their licence) it is legally owned again.
