Hey guys, I know 40 minutes is a long video but I couldn’t trim anymore off of this one without losing context so here it is. Hope you enjoy!
hey i like your rain jacket at 16:00 - where can i get one?
@@billynomates920That is a black rifle coffee jacket I got several years ago. They might still sell them but I’ve seen several companies with basically the same thing
It’s nice with a longer video sometimes and this was right on ”time” 😉🤠🎸
The longer the better.
I'm surprised the algorithm presented your perspective before any other version of this necessary test. Good job for being the first, or being in my algorithm.
Paul Harrell did a similar test using only shotgun shells, I believe. Testing other types is very interesting and informative. Great idea for a video.
I remember that, interesting video.
we love paul
Long live Paul!
I would love to see a part two. I would even like to see a few of the rounds put back in (like the 9mm ball rounds) but with maybe a better manufacture, to see if higher quality would help.
I vote yes on a part two
My jaw dropped when you pulled the string & hit that 2nd plate!
I can barely hit that thing when im aiming at it 😂
I actually gave out a loud laugh 😆👌
@@1ShotTV or is that just what you want us to think while you're really a crime fighter 🤔 😏 😉
Yes me too! That was impressive
@@vashmatrix5769
I like a plot twist, lol
Used to wade fish and carried a Ruger Single Six loaded with 22 mag CCI V+ Stingers for snakes and such. Water up to my chin at times. I tested before relying on it. I fired it out each time, never failing to fire. Lot's that went with me were suprised it fired. This was about 30 years ago. Each time, I broke it down, cleaned and oiled it. Then oiled the grips.
Excellent test and video.
Keep'em coming
Getting any gun wet makes me wanna cry lol.
@@TheDkb427 lol why?
I watched mr Paul's vid on the 14 yr forest stash can vid , now im here . Thanks for the info since the manufacturers dont advertise this information. Keep up the good work 👍🇺🇸!
The rust residue on the brass ammo is from the steel casings that was mixed in the same container of water, the primer could possibly be steel but doubtful most of the time they are made of brass also. Good video, very interesting results. The shotgun shells surprised me that they lasted as long as they did. I figured within 24 hours without being sealed in something that they would’ve been bad.
Same here on the shotgun shells. Thank you I appreciate it
Exactly right about the rust on the brass cases, it came from the steel cased ammo. The primers are either brass or nickle plated brass....however, shotgun primers are steel and brass. And from what I've found, most shotguns shell bases these days are made of brass colored steel rather than brass, the exception being Winchester AA Hulls....those are brass.
My Brother-In-Law lives in Houston and his Home was Flooded during Hurricane Katrina. When the waters finally receeded and he could get back in his home, all of his ammo had been underwater for several weeks. He asked me if I wanted it and since I'm a reloader I said sure, I could always salvage the brass cases, lead shot, and projectiles. I still have the ammo (a lot of it was shotgun ammo) and I took a couple of rounds out a couple of weeks ago, just to see if they were any good. The ones I tried fired perfectly so rather than breaking them down, I just labeled it as "Flood Ammo" and I'll hold it back for use when things get "tight", LOL!
I also pick up brass at the range, for reloading. I find ammo thrown down or away all the time. Some of it has a primer strike like it was a misfire while alot of it is just thrown down and no one bothers to pick it up. I've picked up everything from .22 LR to 7mm Rem Mag and 7mm STW, not to mention I've probably picked up several thousand rounds of .22 LR, again....for when times get "Tight". To all of those that throw away perfectly good ammo, I say "THANK YOU VERY MUCH!", LOL!
Primers aren't made from steel. The cups are made from brass or aluminum.
I thought of galvanic corrosion too, and thought it particularly interesting that stress corrosion from forming was significant enough to be the nucleation sites - marginally less so that the softer brass primers corroded -first- [before their casings], since hardened steel tends to resist corrosion better [than the same, unhardened].
(Pulling numbers from Wikipedia)
I wonder if the lead (-0.5) started to corded first, preserving the brass (-0.2) casings much like like those sacrificial -chunks- anodes of zinc (-1.1) or aluminum (-1.0) do for steel (-0.2 to -0.5) - or if that requires an electrical connection to be effective.
IIRC putting metals with different (electrical) potentials together tends to lead to rapid corrosion, so I don't think making individual ammunition pouches out of aluminum foil would be any more effective than throwing a scrap in the same box ... unless it includes an electrically insulating layer...? (scratches chin...)
[edits, 1d later]
Maybe separate containers for each type of round to prevent dissimilar metals from mixing, causing further promotion of oxidation (rust) issues 🤔
Duck hunters know everything about wet shotshells.
Right
I really enjoyed this testing, I’d be down for a part two. Great video Mr Sir your becoming one of my favorites!
Thank you
That was the most interesting and informative shooting video I have ever seen. Great idea, keep them coming!!
Thank you 🙏
Thanks. This is really one of the most amazing videos I've ever seen in regard to ammunition. You have really proven a lot of so called facts to be myths. I bet most folks would just toss their ammo if it was dropped in a puddle for a few minutes. Thanks again . A lot of hard work on your part.
Thank you
This is good practical knowledge, clearly laid out, good to know, thanks for the effort. Your early videos made me think you were this kid who was just bonkers, I don't think that anymore. Keep it up!
That's crazy. I've always put silicate packets in my sealed cans worrying about humidity. This video makes me feel a lot better. Thanks!
Your motivation and enthusiasm are something to be admired. This was an interesting test.
Thank you for taking the extra time to see it through. 👍
Unbelievable! Excellent video! Can't wait for part 2!
I love that you didn't even need to go to the nickel plated 223!
I found this more interesting than i thought i would, cool video 👌
I carried a NAA 22 WMR revolver in my swimming trunks at the beach and forgot about it when swimming all. The ammo fired without a problem, and the gun was fine after giving it a good cleaning to get the salt and sand out of it.
Good to know. I have the NAA Black Widow in 22 WMR.
You must have scared the fish senseless, tough guy.
I'm so tired, I thought your comment read that all five fired while you were swimming. Lol
@@jonathank7394 I was tired when I wrote it, so I can see now why you thought that. 😆
I like how thorough you are with your videos.
Thanks for the test! That hit on the star with the AK was awesome
Definitely want a part 2. Great video!...
Great test! I‘ve never seen this tested in a youtube video
Thank you!
Paul Harrell did a similar test with salt water and paper shotshells, but they were only submerged for about 2 hours if I recall correctly.
Then you need to look harder!!! Haha 😂 there’s several!! Just not as in-depth
@@joshmajor8662"just not as in-depth"
I guess his comment is accurate after all. 🤣
This is silly. Just fast forward to the end.
A friend in Florida had a 38 Special 'Bang-stick' and he was having problems with the ammo not working after being submerged to depth out in the ocean. I loaded some hot ammo for him and carefully sealed the primers and projectiles as well as made them +P+ (low level 357's). He was VERY happy with them so whether ammo works obviously depends on whether it's been sealed and how deep you dive with them as sea level submersion isn't the same as 100+ feet down.
Interesting. I thought about water depth as well. I’m sure the pressure would make a big difference.
At 50 feet, the pressure increases to 36.95 psia from 14.7 psi at the surface. So almost three times more pressure.
Texas star shots were wild!
Also, I will no longer worry much about moisture ruining my ammo..
You ABSOLUTELY still should.... Ammo is an expensive investment (at least if you buy it like I do) and should absolutely be protected from moisture via GOOD AMMO CANS (I only use mil spec style metal cans due to the superior seal vs plastic cans) with dessicant packs/silica gel to protect from moisture.
Extremely important. Under ideal conditions and in a climate controlled house it SHOULD be fine regardless, but when you accrue up tens of thousands of dollars worth of ammo it is very important to protect it as much as possible.
@@mrdark9916 I store mine in metal ammo cans as well, and I don't live in a humid area.
The reason I said I won't worry much about my ammo is because I store it correctly and I'm constantly using up and replacing the older boxes of ammo. If the rounds lasted that long submerged in water, mine should be completely safe.
@@JOROM90 yeah you'll be good, I was just saying don't get lackadaisical just cuz of this lol.
I still use my old plastic ammo cans for train ammo that gets constantly cycled out, but all my good shtf ammo stores get put into metal cans, when the can is full it is marked on all sides with (caliber, type, weight, brand) then sealed with dessicant packs and zip tied closed and put aside.
At this point I have so damn much it's truly an investment at this point lol
I would. A little anyway. Humidity is worse than water!! Hell even touching cases with your fingers can cause them to corrode so I put those silicate packets in my ammo cans. As long as your ammo isn't 8 feet under water I wouldn't worry about it tho
@@mrdark9916I have some of those plastic ammo cans from Hornady etc which does have a seal but a cpl months ago noticed a few cases had moisture on the outside of the cans. Didn't notice it on my metal cans which is weird. Thinking they were cold and I had the heat on.
Great test, loved watching it. Please bring on part two. I must say that I appreciate your authenticity. It never seems like an act or a charade. You're not afraid to share your initial predictions or when something proved your guess wrong. You always come across as very real, relatable, and believable. That's what is going to keep me coming back to see your new videos as well as go back to watch the older ones. Thanks for keeping it real.
The merger of UMC with Remington was a result of functioning ammo recovered from the USS Maine over 10 years after its sinking in the Gulf of Mexico. UMC used an enamel seal on primer and bullet.
I can't believe I watched 40+ minutes of you shooting rusty ammo. I would love a part 2. Rusted Ammo The Sequel
that was epic. thanks for sharing this important info. more videos like this would be awesome
I just watched your ammo-in-a-fire video. Fascinating stuff.
That was an awesome video testing ammo....i was like WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOw when you hit the two plates
Glad you liked it. I couldn’t believe I got that lucky 😂
Wow, great video! I would have never believed those shells could survive over 48 hours submerged in water. Can't wait for part 2!! 😁
Never saw this type of test before. Well done. The double strike on the texas star was hilarious.
Man what an awesome video.superb patience.thanks
Wow, that didn't feel like 40 minutes, went by fast because it was so good! Can't wait for Part 2 and beyond
"Freedom is not free" i liked it
Great video. Brazil here 🇧🇷🇺🇲
Awesome video! Appreciate the loads of time and work you put into it for us. I’d love to see a part 2
Kudos for using sealed primers as well as unsealed. Well done!
Let’s go for round two, hopefully you knew the people would want this…. Amazing content as always 💯🔥
Like these kinds of videos!
There is one Kentucky ballistics did submerging glocks in water and burying them for like 90 days. Won’t say the outcome but it’s worth a watch!
Thanks
This was an awesome test!! I definitely want to see a part 2!
CCI is known for waxing their rounds in high fluidity paraffin. That's why they lasted as long as they did completely submerged.
Also, Russian cosmoblock ammo is known for being reliable. The reason why is that the Russians didn't care about chemical ethics. They cared about results. This means that the powder is likely a compound that isn't water soluble, as well as the priming compound. That would lead to it taking longer for the water to cause issues with the speed of the compounds.
Russians make great stuff. Shame we can't get anything from them because of politicians.
Cool , I was thinking if I should put some type of sealer , ie : superglue , Thompson's water sealer , clear coat , paint , etc. , around the primer and the seating area ,
Western powders aren't water soluble either (they are likely the same base formula, nitro cellulose and nitro glycerine). The powder that's there is just wet and prevents the primer from igniting the powders. The powder is still there so if it was somehow dried it would ignite again. This is evident by the hangfires in the ak. The powder was damp enough that the primer didn't immediately ignite all of the powder. The rest is just theory but my guess that between all of the sealant used and (probably) a hot primer aka a small rifle magnum primer they manage to make very reliable ammo. I know other reloaders will use a magnum primer at times to get better and more consistent ignition in harsh conditions.
wonderful test, i think this is very good information. so to sum it up, 1 - 2 weeks submerged u can chalk 22 and shotgun shells. after a month submerged you can expect about 1/3rd of your handgun/rifle ammo to expire
41 minutes of informative pleasure. Thanks a lot.
Glad you liked it!
I found a coffee can with old rusty nuts and bolts in it, full of water. It was in my mother's barn for 42 years, when I dumped them out. I found 167 rounds of 22lrs at the bottom. The lead bullets were all most disintegrated. Some were half gone, and I loaded them in my 22 M&P AR 15, and everyone of them fired.
heh. The type of brass used in many ammo cases is naval brass. (Or phosphorus brass, or admiralty brass) All of which are designed to be used in and around water. I used to buy deeply discounted brass cased 7.62x54r water damaged ammo. A couple thousand rounds, and had only one or two failures; no different from any other high quality eastern european load. Was still nice and accurate too, in my 27" vepr.
Definitely want & need a Part 2
It is along video BUT it could be one of your best videos!!! Keep up the good vids
I appreciate that
IT WASN'T TOO LONG. I was all ears! I'm a grandma and I have some questions that maybe you could help me with. I'm a rookie but learning all I can. I've been getting Winchester silver tip jhp 9mm for defense. Is the silver in the tip just steel? Therefore more prone to water damage? How do you know if you have a sealed primer? Thanks in advance. @1shottv
By far the most valuable ammo test I have seen to date on UA-cam. Thank 6😊
Definitely put your thinking cap on for this video. Very well done sir💯
So if someone tragically lost all their guns in a boating accident they could loose their ammo also and not have to worry about it very much if someday they found the sunken treasure.
Pretty much. The guns would effectively be trashed. The only guns that would be worth restoring are ones you can not buy anymore.
@@marktaylor171Right over your head 🚀
@MichaelSmith-jv7zm explain it to me then? I'm not very smart. Do you think what I said was not valid or something. I'm pretty sure I understood what they were saying. What ever happened to a friendly conversation? It seems like everyone just wants to put someone down these days.
@@marktaylor171 WHERE DOES THE “I LOST ALL MY GUNS IN A BOATING ACCIDENT” MEME COME FROM?
The meme traces back to something that actually happened.
In 2014, thanks to California’s drought conditions, the waterline of Castaic Lake (northwest of Los Angeles) receded 151-feet…revealing things previously hidden underwater. Castaic Lake in 2014
On the dry lake bed, a local fisherman discovered a backpack. The bag contained a gun and a badge for an agent of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF).
According to the unidentified ATF agent, back in 1992, he and a friend went out on the lake for a day of boating.
Rather than leave their valuables in the soft-top Jeep they were driving, they opted to place everything - including the gun, badge, and some other odds and ends - in the backpack and take it onto the boat On the dry lake bed, a local fisherman discovered a backpack. The bag contained a gun and a badge for an agent of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF).
According to the unidentified ATF agent, back in 1992, he and a friend went out on the lake for a day of boating.
Rather than leave their valuables in the soft-top Jeep they were driving, they opted to place everything - including the gun, badge, and some other odds and ends - in the backpack and take it onto the boat. Unfortunately, while they were out, the boat became swamped. The backpack and its contents washed over the side of the boat, before eventually sinking into the lake.
The ATF declined to comment on what sort of disciplinary action they took against the ATF agent, if any, and whether or not the loss of the gun was reported to local law enforcement. We do know, however, that the agent was still working for the ATF at the time the backpack was found. Obviously, gun owners took issue with the apparent lack of consequences facing the ATF agent in question.
This was especially true in states with strict gun laws, like California where the incident happened.
In fact, in California, you’re actually now legally obligated to report lost or stolen firearms. And there’s a record of firearms transfers, so the government essentially has a registry of who owns what guns. Now I’m no lawyer, but if the police came knocking on our doors and we offered up “it was lost in a boating accident” to explain the whereabouts of a firearm that should be in our possession… I somehow don’t think that would fly. But if it’s good enough for an ATF agent, it should be good enough for the average gun owner, right?
So the meme, in essence, mocks this apparent double standard by pretending that the excuse would work for the average civilian gun owner as well. It’s generally used in the context of hiding the fact that you own guns from the government, even though they have a record of you owning guns.
But you’ll also occasionally see it used in the context of hiding a gun transfer that wasn’t documented in the way the law requires.
It tends to pop up in a lot of discussions surrounding gun laws - particularly those related to confiscation, firearms registration, firearms transfer records, and similar concepts.
CONCLUSION
So, in summary, the “I lost my guns in a boating accident” meme was rooted in an actual, real-life event but has since been used to poke fun at gun laws and confiscation threats.
@@marktaylor171 boating accident is a way of saying, if the law asks, that you don't have any guns anymore. No police report because they were not stolen. What I said in the original comment is a tounge-in-cheek kinda joke. Or you could safely hide your guns and ammo under water and if your packaging breaks or leaks it's possible that the ammo would still work.
Edit: Some people feel better if they can seem smarter by pointing out other people's lack of understanding. Not me, I feel better when others feel better.
This is a pretty dang GOOD TEST!!! i did not even notice thats its over 40 minutes. Thanks for your time testig these
that was great, i only really watch gun videos now for the testing/science behind firearms. i shoot enough and own enough there is no living vicariously through the channel as some people do. so the more of these types of videos the better in my eyes.
though i understand why other people enjoy more types.
Good stuff.
When I was the FTO for my department I was out on the range in April, just after the snow had gone. I found a live round of our duty ammo, Speer Gold Dot factory ammo, that had laid out there for 6 months, since the last qualification. It was under water and had endured snow, changing temps and water for a full 6 months. I picked it up, loaded it into my pistol, a Glock 23, and fired it at a rusty steel plate. It worked perfectly. I had the keys and no one had access to the range for that time period. We had a bad policy in those days that no one could use the range except during training/qualification. I got that changed along with some other bad policies, but I was amazed at the longevity and durability of that ammo!

F^&k TMI I appreciate your comment
What a fantastic test! Very interesting to say the least, thanks 1Shot!
Thank you 👊
Great video man. I don't mind the longer videos. This is a good test. Also stresses importance of keeping ammo dry.
38:52
Why that's some mighty fine shooting there Tex!
Paul Harrell did a similar test a year or so ago and even the paper shotgun shells lasted a long time, pretty impressive! ty for the video!
That was just a great video with interesting results. I really appreciate the time and effort that went into this video. From one content creator to another i know how much time and editing went into this.
Great Job. Admired the way you stuck with it. Very Entertaining.
Excellent video, now we all know and your time wasn't wasted.
Excellent test and information. Worth the time. Thanks
Just started watching, but definitely one with the more interesting and more useful videos on UA-cam. Can't wait to see the results!
I'm going to start typing this now, but I'll wait till the end to post this. I'm betting shotgun shells don't do too well, but pistol and rifle rounds do okay. Newer modern ammo is sealed up better. (30 mins later) As expected, 3 strikes you're out. Shotgun ammo didn't hold up. I'm really shocked and amazed though that everything lasted as long as it did. Great video.
I couldn't believe you hit that Texas Star. Twice!
Definitely a part 2. Very interesting. Good idea. Good video.
Awesome video. Ive heard of people throwing away ammo that has been in a gun for 10+ years. Your video proved ammo is way tougher than a lot of people think. Never throw away good ammo.
I Really want a follow up test on this to see if the sealed primers and nickel plated cases hold up.
I like your gun collection!
So nice to see so many of them in one video🤠
Thank you! 🇺🇸
Extremely excellent test…..very good information. Thanks a bunch for doing this test! 👍👍👍
Great video! (I hope your Texas star plates are okay!) Yes, I am greatly anticipating part 2!
While some people might be amazed by this, it really isn't that big of a surprise for the metallic cases(excluding 22lr). Anyone who reloads knows that primers are a press fit item(an interference fit) that should form a very tight seal, and the case is usually sized 0.003 inches smaller diameter than the bullet, which creates neck tension, but also makes them an interference fit that should have a good seal.
As for the rust on the brass, that is just residue from the steel cased ammo and possibly the shotgun shells. Brass does not rust. It cannot rust, as rust is iron oxide caused by the oxidation of iron. Brass contains no iron(it is generally 70% copper and 30% zinc) so there is no way for it to form rust. Shotgun shells on the other hand are generally just brass plated steel.
Lastly, the ammunition with sealed primers will also generally contain a tar like sealant on the neck at the base of the bullet, which should further help resist water ingress.
Great job ! Very interesting results, how about 1 year ice, snow etc ?
Thanks for this cause, who knew? Also very happy you did the 3 round feed test at the end cause I was wondering if that was going to cause problems!
This is good information to know. I lost all my ammo in a boating accident last month.
Crazy test, crazy video and results!!!! Sure waiting part two!!!😉👍
I'm sure it would depend on the manufacturer.
I think you would have better results not mixing the shells in the same container. The steel is going to rust much faster and change the water. I bet the water would look much different and the brass would oxidize less without steel in the container. Nice work dude!
Great job and I would love to see you keep this going to see how long they will survive.
Very interesting, some to be expected & likewise surprising results. Kudos for the time&effort ! 👍
Good video, the 9mm target surprised me. I thought it would last longer
I like these cool in depth videos
Just getting to watch this one and
man, what a fantastic video!
I am surprised to say the least !
I like the long video format. Absolutely you should do a part 2 video!
Excellent content as always, thanks for what you do !
That water was gettting funk nasty..
NICE SHOTS ON THE STAR!!! Pretty funny.
Cool vid, very in depth. (Depth...water...C'MON!)
Dude don't sweat the negative crybabies, we know you're straight up!
What an awesome video. I think mixing the steel stuff in thebsame water with the brass stuff exposed the non rust cartridges to the rust products from the steel.
I knew sealed primers would have a much better time in wet storage, but damn! This video has convinced me to finally take a small paintbrush and put sealant on my stash ammo's primers and case necks.
Cool test. The rust on the brass was transferred. Brass will tarnish but fairly certain it will not rust! Great video. Edit: I see others pointed this out!
GREAT VIDEO!!!!! I HAD/ HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, WITH SEVERAL TYPES OF AMMO! WHAT ABOUT AFTER YOU'VE DRY THEM OUT. IF IT WAS BAD, BUT LET DRYING, WOULD THEY WORK THEN?
Very thorough, some interesting results. The 7.62 looked the worst, yet held up OK, exceptinng the split case. I would've been tempted to drop it after the split case.
My best guess at this time for the changing color of the water is from rust since you put steel cases in there. The second thought is possibly some of the initial yellow was from the lacquer being diluted from the cases into the water before the rust started seeping around into everything else. Would have been nice to see brass 7.62x39 (AK) with the other brass in one bin, steel case in separate bin, and shot shells in a third bin.
I've seen steel cased ammo split casings after firing even without the aging you've simulated here. However it does seem like it's plausible that the rusting could cause weakening of the steel shell casings. The "rust" you mention on the brass cases I think are actually just a stain from the rust residue coming off of the steel casings. In order to form rust, iron has to be present, which is what rust is, oxidized iron, which is what steel contains. But brass does not contain iron or else it would rust just like the steel cases. Brass can tarnish but that's not really the same as rust and shouldn't affect how it works. The only failure point I can see in these rounds is water seepage in around the edge of the seating of the bullets into the case, or through the edge of the primer pockets. So long as the crimps are good enough around the bullets into the cases, and if the edges of the primer are "sealed" with something to give it some water tightness like some kind of paint or rubber seal, then the round should be good to go.
Another possible test however is not merely water penetration testing but also the age of the round from the time it was created. I think I've seen elsewhere this was tested and tried, and I think shot shells were basically recommended to be used sometime within 10 years or so. They tend to have the most potential to fail unless wax sealed or some other form of prevention of the powder or primer to get wet, even from water within the air (humidity) over time.
Interesting results none the less! The only other thing I could think of is that you used different firearms for testing and makes me wonder if you had stuck with the same ones throughout since perhaps the locking back of the slides had different results for you, makes me wonder if the firearm used had anything to do with that. One other point I thought of is for the rounds with sunken in primers... I wonder if you had, say for example, a single shot shotgun, if you could adjust the protrusion of the firing pin for those rounds, if they would have still shot or not? Like... would they have worked if the firing pin could have hit them a bit further to make up for the difference in the length of the primer from where it would normally have been? I'm not sure if that was the only problem with them or if water had actually saturated the insides from being able to work.
Anyways... thanks for sharing your experiment! What do you think could have been done differently to have extended the life of the ammo? Dip each round through hot wax to coat them perhaps? Cheers!~
Great video Sir! Store bought water is treated by reverse osmosis with minerals added back in for flavor. You might try using well water which is much higher in minerals and calcium. Or try lake or river water for yet another test.
Got a few 12 gauge flares (orion) out of a junk boat, been in rainwater for years.. brushed off the corrosion on the brass, no duds.
Excellent video. I liked this experiment very much. Main takeaway: While short exposure to the elements will not necessarily make your ammo inoperable, you can't go wrong with sealed primers 😉
Fantastic video! Your best yet!!! (I still can't buy merch from your link!!)
Thank you! The merch is down right now we are making new designs now & the link will be back. I’ll let ya know. Thanks for supporting
Excellent and entertaining video. Was not at all tedious and monotonous was extremely entertaining. Would love a part 2 eventually.
Hell yeah, I love the long video! Awesome information, thank you. How waterproof is ammo? Turns out, very.
Awesome vid! Really liking this and your other vids. You seem really genuine in your reactions and just an overal cool down & to earth guy. Keep it up!
Man I so happy you are getting there with your Subscribers I always shout out your videos on DEMO Ranch ..enjoy your content thx
You’re the man. Thank you for the support!
If you consider redoing this test, how about chrono testing and keeping type of ammo in different containers.
The video was a little long but well worth it. Thank you
This was way cooler then I expected to be honest! I just didn’t expect it to go so far and the results were surprising. I’ve used wet ammo but never anything that has been submerged for 24 hours + good stuff brother!!!
