Re: rusty shells
Not all shells are fully sealed, some will actually swell and either not cycle or get hung up trying to eject. Also some will not fire if too wet. There are a few brands that make shells "more" water resistance, winchesters patented drylok come to mind, I know other brands have the same thing. If you just leave them in a dry place they should dry out and be fine. I wouldnt be too worried about a bit of rust on the base, shouldn't hurt anything, aslong as where the firing pin hits everything looks okay, it should fire fine it just may hang up a bit ejecting.
1st Im in charge, and if not Matt is. Your job is to sign checks, tell us we're doing good and open your case of scotch after a good day. 2nd my fee. You can keep it, all I want in exchange for my service is the right to hunt all the drakes. A male. Buck only. Why and how are my business. If you don't like it, go alone. Set up right here or in a swamp or in the middle of a noshoot field for all I care. I've been on too many duck hunts with rich dentists to listen to any more suicidal ideas. Ok?
