[QUOTE="C-130 Dude, post: 2587826, member: 122991"] Thermal dynamics is at work here. Assuming you had the rounds "on ice" for enough time to cool them down to the ice chest ambient temp, when you removed them from ice, the rapid rise in temp (100° outside) would indeed cause condensation. Wipe off the rounds prior to loading in mags. Introducing moisture in your gun anywhere is not good. However, over heated rounds may see a pressure rise, not so much cold ones. Depending on powder type etc.. Think summer shooting vs winter shooting. Why you experienced popped primers is another issue here. Anyone got thoughts? [/QUOTE]
