HeviShot Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 I have been playing around with some late season doves.I bought some Rem Shurshot loads and some regular game loads New Years weekend.We shot a few birds and I came home.Well I left the shells in the back of my truck in a 5 gallon bucket.Well it came a flood and I forgot about them.Thursday I decided to go and shoot a few more birds before season went out.I found my shells submerged in water!Ikicked myself about 3 times and rode to the field.I loaded one up and squeezed the trigger BOOM!!Everyone of those shells fired perfect after being under water for 3 day's.GREAT SHELL for doves.

AJ Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Re: Wet shell still shoots Welcome to the world of plastic. The primer seals the powder end, the crimp seals the shot end. Even if some moisture gets in the crimp, the wads tight seal in the hull will protect the powder. The old days of paper hulls or the old paper base wads would make hunting on a rainy day an event in frustration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian_Goose Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Re: Wet shell still shoots my bro left some in his "wet" dry box and the rusted out. A few times we had BB's rolling out of the end of our barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
too_pointer Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Re: Wet shell still shoots I used to reload all my duck loads, and boy, did they get wet !! Most would go off o.k., but some were really bad. The factory loads are much better for water resistence. The factory loads right now are pretty darn good too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
