How long do you guys store your loaded lead ammo, or what would be the time period that they should be shot. With lead bullets don't you have to worry about the bullet hardness and bullet lube changing depending on the time and climate that they are in?

If you load lead bullets are your intentions to shoot them right away or throughout the year. I'm guessing this can depend of the type of lube and different lead alloy mixtures.

Just curious as I've thought about casting later.
