Disposing of wet ammo?
What's the correct way to dispose of wet ammunition? I had a few rounds in my shirt pocket that I forgot about, and they fell into the sink. I can't imagine shooting them at the range would be wise, for fear of the powder being wet and getting a squib.
I don't have a bullet puller...but my dad might. Although I don't know if it will work for 9mm. I don't know if they're specific for a certain caliber or not. Any other ideas?

Shoot'em.
The chance of your powder being wet from a short dip in the sink is pretty nil. Factory ammo is sealed pretty good and is hard to get messed up with water. I've washed ammo and shoot it months later and never had any problems.

You can seperate the bullet from the casing, or just take it to a gunshop. They will dispose of it. In reality, I think they are safe to shoot.

The XD stress test also claims the pistol will fire in up to 10ft of water.

Shoot it. I have found reloads that have gone through a load of laundry in the pocket of a pair of shorts, washer and drier and they still went bang later.

So the consensus is to let it fly? I was planning on shooting up one box anyways...I'll make sure they're for range use only.
They're Hornady TAP, for those wondering.
