Not sure if this is the best place to put this question, but here goes.
I live in a high rise condo building that has a common laundry room. I always look through all the pockets, (twice) of any pants, shirts, etc, I have worn on the rifle or pistol range or worn on a hunting trip. I have this almost phobic concern that a rifle or pistol round, overlooked in a pocket, will blow up in a dryer and cause lots of damage... or worse.
Granted, I have never heard of such an occurrence. I spent 12 years living in military quarters where members washed their own combat clothing in washers and dryers that are very similar to those in my building. I have never heard of such an occurrence in any civilian shooting club either.
Have any of you ever washed and dried (on high heat), clothing with ammo in the pocket and if so, what happened?
Sincerely,
JDP
