I recently purchased an HD shotgun. Mossy 590. Anyway I purchased 00 buck shot for the HD weapon ammo. Anyway....is it damaging in any way to keep the magazine full for exteneded periods of time? I ask for three reasons...
1st....im a gun newb
2nd....I took out the ammo the other day to shoot a different kind of ammo and noticed the 00 buck appeard to be stressed. When I first loaded the magazine (8+1 BTW) the bullets appeared as they did out of the box...solid red plastic. Yesterday when I took them out of the magazine they appeared to have a compacting affect to them....what I mean is....the buck in the shell had stressed the sides of the shell to the point where it had discolored and I can now FEEL the shot through the plastic....not sure that makes sense.
3rd....will the spring be ok? Will it lose any of its strength being compressed for extended periods of time?
Should this be happening? Is this just indicative of shotguns?
Thanks!!
