Uh, load it in your 22 LR chamber, point downrange, pull trigger?

I would burn it up in a revolver or an inexpensive single shot or other vintage rifle ( lever ,pump) or use it as N excuse to buy a new Henry. For many years I would come across small to moderate amounts of odd ball 22 shorts, long etc, and always had fun burning them up.

Not really good for anything , send it to me and I will properly dispose of it for you.....

Thanks for the one positive post. That is what I was thinking as well. Just thought someone might have a different idea.

The old Mossberg 44 US I have in the safe along with the Daisy 2201 are both labeled for it. My understanding is just fire away in any chamber cut for 22LR

If I remember correctly same brass as LR just shorter, lighter bullet?

22 LR CASE. 22 short bullet.

I’m not going to shoot it in my accurate rifles.

May try it in a K22.

I burned up a bunch of it in revolvers and bolt actions. Worked great. Never tried it in autos though.

Don’t think it will work in semi autos. Thanks

It seemed weaker in the revolver for me so I never tried it in an auto.

As I touched on earlier, in my youth ( as a typical starving college student) I would use any ammo I could get my hands on. I attended a college that had an NCAA division I rifle team I was a member of, and we got Remington for practice and eley for matches. I also was a mama er of the gun club a few miles down the road from the school, and would go there to practice with my small bore match rifle as well as the various cheap 22’s I kept in the trunk of my car. ( old winch single shot and a 10/22) a couple local old school dusty hardware and general stores stocked ammo, and whenever I could scrape an extra couple bucks together would buy a box. Back then some of those old dusty boxes of shorts or longs were 50 cents a box cheaper than LR, so into the Winchester they went.
My brother also had a knack for finding old cheap stocks of ammo ( some of which he would get for free) and it didn’t matter short long LR brand, it was something to shoot at the time. Even now at a much different point in my life, getting deals on dusty old boxes of ammo I take great pleasure in. One of the local auction houses has odd lot ammo auctions from time to time, and I will grab any 22 ammo I can get for under $3 a box, and have multiple 22’s ( single shots vintage bolts revolvers) that happy eat the odd balls up. For tin can plinking type activities, they all do fine.

if you don’t have a suitable vessel, search the local gun shops for old used 22 single shots ( with a little effort hunting- which is part of the fun- ) they can often be purchased for under a hundred bucks. They can provide a lot of fun, and any practice on a tirgger is good practice
