That awful feeling you get........

[Genius.]

When you wake up in the morning after a rainstorm and go to the basement to find 1" of water in your reloading room....

I have never had a wet basement yet, until now.....

I hope you didn't have powder or primers in that 1inch of water. I hope your loading factory is up and running soon.

Yea, I had 2 box's of primers that were in the water. Just the bottom of the box's were in the water, so I'm hoping I'll be able to save most of them.

The powder I'm hoping is fine, it's all in its original container, and in a plastic tote.

The primers will probably be fine. I would mark them so you know not to use them for ammo that must go bang.

Priming compound is made wet and formed wet, then allowed to dry before packaging. There's no reason to toss your's, open 'em up, set 'em in sunlight for a few days and all should be well. Seat a few empty cases and snap them to confirm the primers are ready to repackage.

I didn't know that, thanks guys! I got about 100 primers wet a month ago and tossed 'em. Damn, there goes $4.

like Fuzzball said, let them dry and they will be fine.
