    I hoard 22lr just so I can Scrooge McDuck in it everyday when I get home from work. Haven’t blown up yet.

    I don't think it will be a problem but I find keeping stuff like 22 rounds in the boxes they came in means I know how much ammo I an taking with me and a rough idea of what I have shot over the day. Same goes for 7.62 till I transfer it to clips for near future range use. Don't worry too much just shoot lol!

    Nearly impossible to earn one of those with loose ammo. Loose rounds simply detonate when ignited, and throw small shards of brass very short distances. Without something to contain the pressure of burning powder, they are virtually harmless. I doubt even a 50 BMG. detontating next to your head would be enopugh to cause lethal injuries.

    Uh... what? Is that a thing? I've heard thats a bad idea because the powder can abrade and result in much faster burn rates. Guess it depends how long it's being tumbled for. I would avoid tumbling live ammo.
