Just me

I have my own ranges so this probably only applies to me. I can shoot either from outside benches or inside. I put the duds in a box then on a rainy day I pull the bullets, dump the powder and throw the cases in water with a tad of WD40 in there. That stuff will really screw up the priming compound. I throw the bullets into the casting pot.

I save, either rake up, or sweep up, all my brass, or as much as I can, and throw the unreloadable stuff in a 2gal or so plastic container. When it gets full I take it and the thousands of mashed aluminum soft drink cans, got 11 grandkids here most of the time and they are a shooten, down to a recyling center and get money for the stuff which promptly goes to my wife cause she says she pays for all the soft drinks so she oughta get the bread.

Worry about cartridges

We are talking about 22 rimfires here .

Don't worry about duds too much. The only real time to worry about a dud is when it's inside the gun. Outside a gun all that will happen is it goes bang but the bullet is not going much of anywhere with any speed at all.
.

Another thread on RFC that "talks" about a guy that dropped a weight from a barbell or something like that on a cartridge and shot himself. News article on that also. Might want to consider your when to worry beliefs.

Duds and shot himself

Here is the article.

Before you get all bent out of shape with me, I am not saying I believe it but somebody does and nobody cares enough to investigate it any more.

Did not do a search on RFC on this so I could reference the posts for you. More time than I want to spend on it but they are here somewhere.

My point is you need to worry with things that can go bang under non controlled conditions. Personally an Aerosol can thrown into a fire scares me more but I don't walk on duds that eject on my concrete shed floor when I shoot from inside either. I clean em up and dispose of em as per my previous post.
