[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1678661, member: 109113"] When you were a little kid, did you ever put your thumb over the end of a drinking straw and then pull it out of your drink ? The juice stays in the straw, because you've got a vacuum there. Air can't get in at the top, so the juice doesn't pour out at the bottom. I think that with a bullet plugging the whole in the neck of the cartridge, the water would stay inside the cartridge case. The only water you should see would be what had formerly been in the neck of the cartridge case, and that was pushed out by the bullet during the seating process. This amount is minima, and I wouldn't expect to see a big mess. I've never done this, but I'll bet that it works just like Frog4aday described the process. [/QUOTE]
