Washied the ammo - still OK?

[dogbreath650]

Didn't clean out the pockets before I threw a pair of pants in the washer and ended up with a few .357 and 9mm rounds going through the wash/dry cycle. Are these OK to use or should I just toss them?

[buckshotbarlow]

save and recycle components (bullets and brass, trash the primer and powder) in my opinion...Have they been laundered to insure that they are clean? IE, untraceable?

[RonMexico]

Ive washed washed some before.... loaded them in a glock and they went bang. Don't know if that's the right answer but I figured if it didnt go bang, I would wait for a hang fire and if it didn't go off in 30sec, I would just extract the round and keep firing.

[Sharpienads]

I bet they're ok to shoot.

Just video tape it when you do, you know, just in case [Coffee]

I wouldn't hesitate to shoot them at the range. Don't think I'd trust stuffing back into my carry piece.

This your first time forgetting ammo in your pockets? To date the spousal unit has "returned" approx 10-15 rds of misc calibers. Ironic the ammo gets handed to me but NEVER any money!

Funny how that works

And in this ammo market I wouldn't expect too many rounds back now, either

They will be fine shoot them your next range trip.

[KevDen2005]

Probably no good...Give it all to me and I will dispose of it.

At our house ammo is money. Any 22, 38 or cash is confiscated by wife, never to be seen again. 9mm and most rifle ammo can be purchased at discounted prices or traded for 38 and 22.[facepalm][Bang] [hahhah-no]

Ammo is hard enough to find. Cut a hole and light a fuse if you have to!

[rondog]

Put 'em in the oven for awhile to dry 'em out......









I KID, I KID! Don't really do that.

Wife handed me a SW40 yesterday....she was worried that it could have "gone off" in the dryer and put a hole through it and the wall....etc etc.

Put the round back in a mag and don't worry about, I figure.

It's just clean now, and probably smells Downy Fresh.

I got one for ya guys.


Ran a loaded 5.56 round through my sonic cleaner the other day for about 30 minutes on accident.

Pull and recycle or fire?
