Or you can do what I did and throw it in a lake somewhere.

The more I read your ideas the more I know you have no idea what you are talking about. Where did you learn gun safety? Brochure in a crackerjack box? WTF makes you think throwing ammo away in a lake is a good idea? Ever heard of lead poisoning? Here's a link for you

I also spent some time thinking about your comment on exploding ammunition. When a round explodes outside of a chamber the casing is still being surrounded on ~70% of its area by the bolt, chamber, and frame. The explosion will rupture the casing where it is not touching something. The path of least resistance. In the case of a bullet in a fire, the two pieces will separate.
