From the distant past this sounds like a blank cartridge. If the cap on the end is smooth it is probably live. If the crimping is open and there is an indent in the end cap, then it has been fired. Dont throw it on a fire.
quote:Originally posted by jeremyp:I did a cache the other day and found it contained a spent cartridge case (i.e. used to contain a bullet) with the end where the bullet used to be crimped shut. My heart nearly stopped when I first saw it because I thought it was live ammunition.
Firstly, is this acceptable cache contents? My feeling is that the answer is probably "yes". Secondly what do you do if you do find live ammo?

The second ten million caches were the worst too.
