    Somehow the cat pee'd on a box of pricey self defense 9mm. I gave it a brief rinse and towel dried it, then used a blow dryer. There is minor discoloration of the copper primer and jacket, no detectable deformation. I plan to test some to make sure they feed and fire properly. Should I lubricate them, and if so, with what?
    Thanks

    I would not trust it especially for self-defense ammo. If the bullets or primers are not sealed, you may have issues. I would rather take it to the range and use it there and watch out for hang fires.

    Where are you storing it that the cat is able to pee on it?

    Hiding it in the cat box? :shrug:

    Makes a great hiding place for your HD firearm if you don't have a quick access safe yet. Or a cat.

    Some litter, a few tootsie rolls partially melted in the microwave, you're in business. :thumbsup:

    Reminds me of the time my Uncle George sneezed on a full case of .30-06 M2 Ball. Of course we had to throw it in the trash, the entire 1000 rounds.


    That stuff the cat passed on is too unstable now to keep in an occupied dwelling. PM me your address and I'll take it off your hands.

    I had this happen to some 5.56 when my cat pissed on a rifle bag I left on the basement floor. The ammo severely corroded so I did not use it. I accidently forgot some in the rifle bag when I tossed it in a bon-fire and that was interesting!
