At a recent match we had the option of a start position with the Condition1 gun placed in a bucket of water. While I have done this numerous times without a failure to fire it dawned on me that many have not had any experience with this and have not tested their carry ammo or handloads to this level. I should point out that I handload double base powders in all my handgun loads. Powders that were invented over 100 years ago. I just finished a 1961 Keg of Unique that Chronoed right on the money. With the few questions i got, it dawned on me that in an age where we keep introducing CFE, Flash suppressant, high density, odor reducing and clean burning propellants that we just have to have I am not sure of the water/humidity resistant capabilities of these Wonder Powders. Consider a non-hygroscopic powder first for reliability before you go with the jazzy new stuff. Before you can get to the aftermarket addons in your ammo or powder, it needs to burn to work at all.
