    Very silly question. Please don’t judge me

    Hey guys, I know this is a very stupid question and the answer is probably yes, but please forgive me. I’ve only shot twice at the range before getting hooked/getting my RPAL.

    It is completely safe to dump my 223 into an ammo box? the tip of a cartridge can not set off the primer of another?
    Thanks guys.

    Just dont do it from 20 feet up. Normal dumping from a normal height is fine. I still avoid being overly rough with my ammo, as primer compound is brittle and may become unreliable if knocked and jostled too much.

    I suppose it could happen, but you'd probably be more likely to get struck by lightning. When you by .223 in bulk it comes in an ammo can, or cardboard box, with all the loose rounds just dumped in. If the major manufacturers do it, I wouldn't think there's to much of a chance of it happening.

    No question is dumb if it's about something you're not sure of, it's dumb not to ask the question.. There is no danger and it's how lots of bulk ammo is packed.

    It's better to have questions you can't answer, then answers you can't question.

    If so, then how do you explain dry tumbling live ammo with no ill affect?

    Not to mention dropping it from airplanes on pallets to no ill effect
