I picked up a .30 cal surplus ammo can recently and would like to store it full of my .308 reloads. They'll be Speer Hot-cor Spitzers or Barnes TTSX.
I'm wondering if having them loosely stored in the can will alter the tips of the ammo enough to cause any real issues with accuracy or terminal effect on game. I won't be slinging the can around, but it will be moved from time to time.
I won't mind a miniscule decrease in accuracy, as it is only a deer hunting rifle, not a match rifle. I'd like to maintain an inch at 100 yards.
I, of course, could keep them stored in plastic or cardboard boxes, but that takes up much more space.
