Does anyone else seal their EDC Ammo?

[Hvymax]

Several times a week I find myself around and occasionally in brackish water. Of course my pistol gets a detail strip, clean and lube but what about the ammo? I seal the primers and bullets with thinned down nail polish.

I've sealed ammo that was used in my underwater Bang Sticks.

Never, but I don’t have occasional to immerse my ammo.

MANY years ago, when I used to hunt the San Juans, I would seal my .30-06 hand-loads with my wife's clear coat nail polish.

I don't have occasions to hang out in the rain these days, nor do I ride a motor cycle any longer, so I don't care if my ammo is sealed or not...Back when I was the police though, yeah, I was either using military ball which was already sealed on both ends, or Winchester Super-X FMJ which got a touch of my wife's red fingernail polish on the primer end.

I tested some 38 spl rounds years ago. Posted that on here. As I recall 12 rounds of factory and 12 of handloads. None sealed. I put them in a cup of water for 5 mins at the range. They all shot without any problems. I expected primers to be duds maybe some slower to ignite. Nope, all worked.

If there is sufficient neck tension to hold a bullet, I doubt that any water will make it's way in. Same for primers.

That said, I just don't carry when I am swimming

I don't intentionally but sometimes it happens anyway. Since my Lehigh loads are over $1 apiece I'm considering it cheap insurance.

Also if you carry while swimming everyone will KNOW you're not happy to see them, in more ways than one.

It ain't just moisture that needs kept out....Sometimes it oils that result from over zealous cleanings.
