I took a carbine course recently, and a guy was using these. I noticed that he'd consistently drop the mag and reload a fresh one, rather than flipping it over. I asked him why, and he said that it was simply because he kept forgetting that he had the additional rounds available. Definitely would take some extra training to get used to it, I think.
Anyway, the main thing that I noticed is that if you're prone and using the magazine as a monopod (we did this when confirming zero at the start of the course), you're going to wearing away at the feed lips, moving the bullets around, and potentially forcing soil into the magazine. Might be worth it to have some kind of quick-release dust cover to prevent that from happening.
