Wet 209 Primers

[dg31872]

This is an update on my wet primers.
I had 1,000 Fiochetti 209 primers that got soaked in clean water for a couple of days from a frozen water pipe.
I dried them out and loaded one primer (I picked one of the rusty ones), loaded into empty hills and fired them.
They all went Bang.
I plan on relegating these to light loads, and my other primers for stout loads.
Thanks for the advise.

Only thing I ever saw that really killed primers was mama's old wringer washer. It got .22 Shorts I left in my jeans every time./beagle

Once they are dry, they should work OK. My firefighter buddies tell me that soaking in used motor oil is the way to kill primers.
