308Wood and I have completed the experiment on some ammo that ws recently purchased.
I pulled the pictures from the prior days to save bandwidth on my website and to increase the load speed for those ARFCOMERs with slow connections. The complete test is at: The whole shootin' match! DAY 5- Friday: 8-27-2004 120 Hours  THE USUAL SUSPECTS!  The PMC is dry after five days! Is this s surprise? I think it is. I really had no more expectations of this PMC ammo than I did for the S&B. The durprise is that it performed as it was supposed to.  The Federal XM-193 is Dry. This should not be a surprise as this ammunition is second only to the Q3131A.  The second biggest surprise! The demilled is dry! I am amazed thst the manufacturer could take this stuff apart and then put it back together and get a batch this right!  For the price, this stuff should be DRY! It is! No surprises here.  Above & Below: No surprise here. Wet, Wetter & Wettest!   The WOLF 5.56mm! The Wolf is the big surprise for its waterproofness. The problem: after five days under water, I doubt that the rusty cases would feed reliably. |

The card incorrect says Q313a, shouldn't that be Q3131a? That's hilarious!

I'll correct the written typos! I should blame this on my secretary, but my wife would kick my ass because she didn't create the cards! |

I posted last night's pictures.
THE WOLF IS STILL DRY! Rusty but dry! The cards should be spelled correctly this time also! |

Thanks for doing the test. You have proven me right for choosing Q3131A for my main round, over the sometimes leaky XM193. Well, I didn't like the dented cases either.

Ya'll are welcome.
I thinkthe wolf ws the most encouraging and disapointing all in one. Well sealed, but rusting away to the point of un-usefulness! |

Did you try and feed a few rusted cases in a rifle? |
