Please let me know how you make out with the ammo, I've cleaned about 200 rounds of WWW but I'm not sure I want to try to shoot it yet .seamusTX wrote:Don't keep ammo near ground level.
I've always kept range ammo in the garage -- on the floor, on a low shelf, or in the trunk of my car. I got about two hundred rounds inundated that way. I rinsed it with fresh water within hours of the flood water receding, but it was already corroding.
It will be interesting to see how it performs. Obviously I will use it only for plinking. On a positive note, I may get some failure practice, which I have never been enthusiastic about.
It would have been a few hours' work to build some more elevated shelves. I built some shortly after we built the garage, but they quickly filled with junk that we just couldn't live without.![]()
BTW, we now have electricity, Comcast cable TV, and Internet here in our corner of Galveston Island (mid-town). The city water still isn't drinkable, the telephone land lines went out today, after working for about a week, and we won't have gas for the foreseeable future (probably about a month).

I will, but I won't get to shoot for a while. I just have too much to do around the house and too much catching up with work.

The enemy will surely destroy your battle plans. If there is anything I have learned from being married is that you can hang that picture for her three times and it is still one millimeter off. It sounds like you did your best...throw everything else in a plastic waterproof bag and drive.

I edited my original post. is that better?
Reasonable gun control is hitting your target with the first shot.
