Hello, I was doing the laundry yesterday morning and when I went to put the stuff from the washer into the dryer i noticed a speed strip in the washer:banghead: It is some .357 federal that I carry with me. My question to the board is: will it still be safe to carry/shoot. It is my reload for my primary carry. Should I toss it? Should I shoot it? Should I just leave it alone? Thanks.

Use it for practice.
It is very unlikely that water penetrated the rounds, but not worth finding out when you need a bang.
The loudest sound in the world is a 'click' when you needed a bang.

I would say it's a good idea to shoot it off during practice too.

I have inadvertently washed at least several hundred rounds in my time. They all workrd fine after.
Don't use it in you carry gun. Save it for practice.

As everyone has stated above, don't trust your life to this ammo. Shoot it up at the range.
