They may just be beyond hope. Every case head I've looked at says "09". :roll:

I have 1000 rounds of Lake City M855. Any idea what I should do with it? :rolll

If you managed to get the round completely out of the weapon before it went off, there would not be much risk of any serious consequences. If however, it decided to go off while you were in the process of clearing it, it could be deadly.

In addition to an un-aimed shot, the slide could do some serious damage by cycling before you got the round out of the chamber. It's not hard to imagine several possibilities.
