Thanks everyone.
I think I'll just take it to the range next trip I make. I feel pretty certain they are fine, but like was said, it's only 6 rounds.The Hostler

This happened to me. I pulled one of the bullets and dumped the powder to see if it was wet or clumped. Turned out ok and I shot it.

Wait, you guys don't wash your carry gun and ammo with your clothes all the time?

Re: Washed 38 ammo in laundry, opinions???
I did that one time long ago. I had the the remainder of the ammo in the box and a friend had a chronograph. The washed ammo did not show any sign of deterioration compared to the ammo straight from the box when using the chronograph. It was Speer Gold Dot Short Barrel Personal Protection 38 Special +P. When I discovered the ammo went through laundry, I isolated the speed strip in a sandwich bag and put a note in it. It was at least a year before I did the comparison shooting.

put the ammo in the oven at 450F for 2 hours. Good to go.
