[QUOTE="palerider3, post: 1769045, member: 82117"] Wet testing is taking a loaded round and dipping it or spraying it with water before chambering it and firing it. The water fills the gaps in the chamber so the case can't grow to fill them in and increases your pressure. It's best to test this way before you take ammo to a hunt or match that may have adverse conditions. A lot of people will work up a load that's on the edge of pressure, then shoot a match in the rain or fog and end up piercing primers or worse. [/QUOTE]
