[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 2511671, member: 48043"] I've had ammo go bad from water only once in 30+ years of shooting. I was helping my brother run up a few rounds with the 300rum he had at the time and used some older brass with marginal primer pockets... It started raining and we kept shooting with the ammo out. Next thing you know we had a couple of ftf's... I pulled down the rounds and the primers weren't very tight in the pocket on every one that ftf'd. I tossed that brass right quick. As to Markon sealant, I will NEVER use it on the bullet end of a round I load again. I bought some after the 300rum incident and played with it a bit. Every group with sealed bullets flat sucked. The stuff was depositing in the bore and screwing with my chi, so to speak. The sealant is sitting on my bench gathering dust as of now. I'll use wax or cast bullet lube if I ever want to seal ammo again. Tight/ fresh brass should be enough for the vast majority of situations we will encounter. [/QUOTE]
