    Default Washied the ammo - still OK?

    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?

    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?

    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.

    I bet they're ok to shoot.

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

    Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.

    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!

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