I will try and find somewhere that can make it safe first though.
Many thanks once again for the time and effort to provide such a detailed reply.

Put them in a metal pan with water.
The water will absorb in an unlikely explosion.
The amount of propellant in the cartridge is not a great cause for alarm.

And the tips of your ammo are gone by look.

I will ask an ammo collector friend for advice...
