    Be careful as your reefer door won't open or close.

Rather load a seven round mag with 5, or a 10 round with 8 or a thirty round mag with 25, etc. I am wondering about mag design and if that also can play a factor...single stack, double, straight vs curved.
        The exact source is incorrect. Not sure why 2 less rounds make any difference...

        Curves in the mag body don't affect the number of rounds you can load, and they use the same shape springs as straight mags.
