[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2285290, member: 10755"] The problem isn’t the priming compound becoming wet, it’s the paper ‘foil’ that separates the compound from the anvil. The other major issue is corrosion within the primer itself from water or moisture. I used to believe that dropping oil in primers rendered them inert….not so! I fired 10 after soaking them for 2 MONTHS in WD40! All 10 went off. The compound used in the priming pellet is oil based, hence it will not absorb water, but the brass in the primer components will definitely corrode. Who else has seen green corrosion on bullets and inside cases after being pulled apart? I know I have. Even had rounds come apart where the bullet stayed in the neck and the neck broke off above the shoulder! Cheers. [/QUOTE]
