steve0146 Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Had an evening on the marsh last night. Missed two easy ducks that I managed to call from across the other side of the marsh. As I was walking off in the dark, I slipped and fell into a deep creek. I went almost completely under the water and dropped most of my equipment in the panic. I salvaged the gun but lost all cartridges, gloves, facemask and hat etc. Went back this morning and found them as the tide was out. Found all cartridges in the mud. They have cleaned up ok, but will they still fire. They seem fairly waterproof but dont want to have the chance of a decent shot and they dont go off.

Imperfection Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Try putting them in a tupperware tub and covering them with uncooked rice for a week.It absorbs all moisture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scolopax Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 TBH I would bin them, or at least fire them off at some inanimate targets, as you said the chances on the foreshore can be few and far between so I would be happier knowing that my cartridges were in A1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brackers Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 I wouldn't bin live cartridges in any sort of usable condition... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
