How do you dispose of a live round?
I have a 380 round that has a cracked case.
I assume I shouldnt just toss it in the trash.
Thanks

I dispose them at the shooting range. They have a DUD bucket.

if you have a bullet puller or know someone (a reloader) who does, let them pull it apart - they can even reuse the bullet and powder (if they're really adventureous)
if not, soak the whole thing in WD-40 or some other penetrating oil to render the primer and powder incapable of ignition and then dispose of it as mentioned above at a shooting range, etc.

Give them to the rangemaster. Same thing with set-back bullets.
