Wet shotgun shells

[moog5050]

So my wife kindly washed my hunting gear and I forgot to remove shells in my pocket.  Took them out post washer.  Toss em or let em dry out.  No idea if they remain useable.  Hate to finally have a turkey in front of me and no boom.

Ahhhhh, women!

Can't live with them, can't live without them.  'Least you'll smell daisy fresh!!

Use them for target practice/pattering would hate to have one not go off on a bird

That’s what I was thinking.

All for Pygmys benefit.

Hand them to Pygmy to use ?! 

Honestly not sure. I’ve washed and dried a lot of .22 rounds and they go bang. I think you’ll be fine honestly.

It could turn out like a cartoon when you pull the trigger and bubbles come out.

Keep em separate and labeled and use for pattern checks.

I will bring unwashed shells but Pygmy offered to let me use his gun with a scope.  He must not fully understand what a jinx I am when it comes to turkey.  Lol

My wife washes my uniforms pants without checking them , flashlight, knife, pad ,pen, ems gloves , Can’t believe she doesn’t feel that weight .

Its really fun when a knife opens up on spin cycle .....

I would use them but for practice only use new ones for hunting.  As others have said

Good thing they aren't made of paper anymore. That would have been a mess, and a tear down of the washer to get the shot out of the base. Or, buy a new washer.

 

Have washed many things over the years, wallets, keys, candy, receipts, money ( both bills and coins ), and condoms. But never ran any ammo through the washer.

Washed and dried SD cards a bunch of times. No worse for wear....

Don't worry, Moog, I'll supply the shells, too..Just don't ask what shot size they are because they have been carried around in my vest and loaded and unloaded so many times all the markings are worn off...I'm pretty sure they are either 4s or 6s....Hehehe...

I need to fall asleep.  2am is coming quick!

This is a good one.............The wife tells me what ever she finds in the pockets she keeps so I make sure all pockets are empty......
