ammo durability question...

[teriyakisaki]

...so usually when i go shooting, i pick up whatevers cheap and decent when it comes to ammo i could use (basically to stock pile). well since its mostly super walmarts, the ammo comes with some grocerys. long story short, i didn't notice the bag in the back of the truck until today, and was suprised it hadn't flown away. i open it up to see a full box (10 shells) of Federal Ultra Shock 12ga Rifled slugs (2 3/4", it says "magnum" on the box, but i didnt know they made a 2 3/4 mag). this wouldnt be THAT big of a deal if it didn't lightly rain/snow off and on for the last week or so, but it did. i pulled the box out and it was soaking wet, but the shells look unharmed (and were dry to the touch). they were wrapped in a white plastic bag and were in the box, so im not really worried about UV rays, mostly just the water. should i just toss these things, or if i was to load them, how badly (if at all) would it affect my 590?

With modern ammo it should be okay to shoot, Don't want to store them that way for long.

If water did seep into a shell, the worst I would expect to happen is that it just wouldn't fire. Watch out for delayed hangfires, is all.

with modern plastic hulls I wouldn't worry too much about it - especially since you said they were dry to the touch. I'd testfire one just to make sure it performs the way it should - and if you have any doubt cut them open and toss them out.
