Wet .22 ammo question

I was going to head up to Eau Claire, WI, for the ISSA Regional Schuetzenfest starting today, but I'm cleaning up after my basement leaked almost enough water to stock it with trout!   Sad  I found a sleeve of Wolff .22 Match Target that had been on the floor and gotten pretty wet, not soaked, but the cardboard is damp up to the top.  Anyone have any experience using ammo that's been wet?  Anything to look out for with Wolff's lube?  It's up in a dry place for now, with the boxes drying out, but...

Thanks from wet and soggy central Iowa!

Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

I had some that got damp, (not wet) and I emptied it out on a towell to dry. Tossed the soggy boxes and just bulk packed it when it was dried out. Seemed to shoot just fine, and no duds either.

I had four or five boxes of Eley Hi-Velocity that had obviously been soaked and then dried out.  Looked terrible, but every round fired.
