Do people store their lead bullet reloads loose in ammo cans, or is this not a great idea due to the lead bullets softness (compared to FMJ rounds)? Has anyone ever noticed changes in OAL, degradation of accuracy, or other problems related to storing them all jumbled together in an ammo can, as opposed to neatly lined up in boxes?
I could imagine that theoretically, the weight of a couple hundred (or more) rounds pressing on top of a loaded round could deform the bullet slightly or cause other mischief, but I bet it isn't seen practically.
I suppose you wouldn't want do to this with critical match ammo, but for general practice/plinking rounds, is it ok to "fill 'er up" with an ammo can and not worry about labelling lots of little MTM plastic boxes?
