Default Desiccant Lesson

So we were packing to come here to SC, and while unloading a safe I start smelling something odd, sorta like acidity. With all guns from that safe removed I start pulling ammo. Then my son noticed some damp ammo boxes. A total of 41 boxes of ZQ .308 were damp. Made no sense, safe was dry. Turns out that one of my desiccants must have been cracked on the bottom when I got it and I didn't notice. So, it was taking in moisture, the moisture was mixing with the absorbing gel and leaking out the bottom. Was happening so slow it was unnoticed. So, if you use these, just check 'em before putting in your safe. They work GREAT, and last for months. But I got the bad apple....

Political Correctness is a doctrine, recently fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and promoted by a sick mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit by the clean end!
