So I found out I had a few duds due to some crap in my powder funnel, so after a fun few hours of pulling bullets and 2 bullet pullers later I got them done then the gfs usless cat decided to knock over my water onto to the brass. Was just wondering if the primers that were still in the brass still work after they dry or do I have to pop them all out?

Thanks

This would be next to impossible to have some "crap" in the powder funnel cause loaded rounds to not fire due to contaminated primers. Look for some other reason.
When the cases dry out the primers should be fine. Actually, spilling water on the cases probably never had any effect on the primers.
 
I'd just let the cases dry out. Then I'd use those rounds for practice, not hunting or anything that really matters. The primers are likely fine, but who wants any doubts in the back of your mind as you aim at a nice buck?
