I am thinking I may be the only one who has ever did this....
Last evening I was cleaning .223 brass. I was picking up odd boxes of fired brass laying around my bench, ammo cabinet and reloading room and dumping them in my RCBS Sidewinder. I was cleaning with water, citric acid, soap and stainless steel pins. When the timer ran down and the Sidewinder stopped turning I emptied it into my colander, rinsed with fresh water and was about to put them in the oven to dry. That is when I noticed some brass with primers in it. All in all there were 25 pieces with WW primers in them. They had gone through about 2 hours in the Sidewinder with the solution and pins. Outwardly they look fine
Has anyone ever tried drying them and did they still work? I thought perhaps a few hours at 100° in the wife's convection would dry them out. (too hot or not hot enough?) I have read about primers that got wet and were left to dry and they still fired.
Not that I am so frugal a few primers couldn't be tossed out but I'm inclined to try it just to see what happens. Any comments or suggestions? G
