Hurricane Isabel tidal surge left me with the bottom floor of my house (on the shores of the Cheseapeake Bay) 5-feet under water for three days before I got it all (except muck) pumped out.

The "wine cellar" (on the bottom floor) where I had 11 unopened cases of assorted calibers stored took me 2-months to clean out...

Three years later my Grandson began testing some of the recovered .223, 30-06, and 7.62. Using only hand prep, and loading mags 3-rnds at time, only experienced less then 10% failure...

Bottom line, out of more than 11,000 rnds was able to rescue about 3,500...Not too bad since the avg-per-case for the ammo (1996-1999) was about $58 per thousand...
