Heres a few rounds of 30-06 ammo I picked off the shipwreck of a WWI battleship off the coast of Long Island. It has been underwater since 1912. The majority of it is still bone dry. You can shake it and hear the powder inside. Some of the rounds had gotten wet. a buudy of mine took a few of the dry rounds ( I have a *****load), cleaned them up and stuck them in some crappy rifle he had. Two of the 5 rounds he tried, amazingly fired.
