    While using the squeegee to push water out of my garage I hit my press and I knocked over some primers into some water on the floor . :ugh:



    Will these be good when they dry?

    Nope. I'd throw them out. You could wait a few weeks for them to dry and load them up and they "might" work, but ask yourself if your gun or well being are worth whatever those primers cost? Just pitch them and learn the lesson.

    What size of primers? For the low low cost of $10, I'll take them off your hands for you...

    Seriously, don't put them in your defensive loads or your dangerous game loads, and in a few weeks they should be fine.

    let them dry a couple of days and prime 10 cases, no powder or bullets. if all 10 fire then they will be fine

    They should be fine when dried out.
    The manufacturer handles them with water to form the paste into the tube-like form they take into the machines.
    (much akin to making/handling flash paper...it is safe wet and then dangerous once dry)
    The key here is to make sure they are completely dry before making any loads.
