Those look fine desu. The primers seem untouched and the cases don't have anything deep enough to threaten their integrity. A little surface corrosion won't hurt them.

>>31197837
Now? They're cheap AF why haven't you been using them since the start? Shit walmart sells plastic ones for 4.99. That's lightyears ahead of storing them in cardboard boxes on your closet floor.

Few months ago a pipe under my kitchen sink exploded just as I was headed out the door for the night. "Luckily" it happened right as I walked by and I minimized the damage by hours. I'm sorry OP. This is a nightmare.

I'm in Oregon and you're probably not but if you were I'd help man. Spare ammo cans, my shop is equipped for refinishing...sucks op.

>>31197726
The ammo is probably fine if it was only soaked for a few hours. Might get a few duds but you should be okay.

I'd be extra cautious about squibs with that stuff though.

>>31197726
This is why I always turn water heater off and shut the main water valve every time I go away overnight. Had an old boss who went on vacation to hunt for retirement condos in Florida. Came back to find out toilet feed line broke and water ran down from second floor to basement for three weeks. Every bit of drywall came down in ceilings and walls.

Ah so it was a while.

I saw the one week burst part, missed the leak part, hence the confusion and worry he had bigger issues.

Talk to your water utility, many places have installed backflow preventers on their end. If you are operating at a high pressure internally, this will cause massive issues as your everything breaks apart and fails due to you failing to actually fix your stuff.

These are becoming very common after Flint as utilities review their planning.
At least in mine it made sense, bitch ass of a dry cleaner managed to fuck up the plumbing and used the input as a dump for their chemicals, tainting the drinking supply.

>>31199367

The rounds will be 100% fine assuming the metals haven't oxidized to a point where projectile/case dimensions have changed. As long as the primer and propellant are dry you'll be fine, which they will be, because rounds are sealed.
