Okay, perhaps a stupid question, but here goes.
I had some 20 gauge shotgun shells in a ziplock bag in the pocket of the shotgun bag. There was a hole in the pocket so I put the shells in a ziplock and forgot they were there. I know that is not the way to store ammo, but I just plain forgot they were in the side pocket.
Now there is some white powder in the bag, I assume corrosion? About a tablespoon of white powder mixed in with the shells.
My stupid question is.....now what? Are the shells bad, what do I do with them now? Can I clean the powder out? If they are bad, what do I do with them?
I live by the motto, better to ask a stupid question than be stupid forever.
