I see your point Muley, and wonder how the same test would go without shooting the primers.

Regardless, there is a difference between shooting the primers and shooting a fouling shot. While the primers do put some residue in the bore that may attract moisture, that residue is a lot different than the residue from a fouling shot which is almost certain to grab on to moisture - even Blackhorn residue.
