Good to know. Been doing the water idea for years and never had one go off, must be luck and going slow with decapping them.Water will not kill a modern primer, i do not know exactly when and some primer makers may have been later than others. priming compound has been water proof for years. I have pushed live primers out on several occasions and have never had one go off, but good safety glasses are a must. A well known benchrest shooter that posts at bench rest central let 10 primed case sit in a bucket of water for a month. dumped the water out of them and set in a window sill for a few days and primed another 10 loaded them all up and shoot over a chronograph and could not tell which were which till he looked at which bag was labeled wet. I would not waste them if it were me.
