I had about 14 cakes and maybe 20 shells that didn't fire so instead of firing them off one at a time, I just "covered" the with a tarp. Well 25-45+ mph winds and pouring rain over night blow off my tarp and that stuff got wet. So the main question is if I put them in my mag. well they slowly dry and fire ok? They will be sitting for the year. What should I do?

Not something I would chance. IF it got wet it could deform causing other issues. Then again may be ok

Not worth it. Take it to your local fire dept, tell them the issue and ask them to dispose of them properly

General rule I follow with explosive material... Its better to be safe than to be lucky. I would have them disposed of.

Ok thanks for the bad BUT safe news. Looks like I'm going to the fire dept some time this week.
