Bullets in Magazines

[atovera]

Will it harm the magazine if you have bullets in them all the time even when they are just in storage? thanks

[Black Majik]

Nope.

And please don't call them "bullets." They're rounds, or cartridges.

Don't worry about it...it bugs me when people interchange the terms "font" and "typeface"...they are not the same thing either.

Hey, at least he didn't call em' clips.

[Roots]

Are you concerned about keeping your magazine springs compressed?

Yep!

If you leave them loaded for long periods of time you can wear out the springs and in some cases the feed lips. Just change out the mags occasionally.

I rotate every 6 months between 3 sets. Loaded, unloaded, springs out of mag bodies "breathing" under no tension.

This is only for my primary guns (same gun x2). My other gun mags I keep unloaded until I need them.

Sorry, I also intended to respond to the original question...

It shouldn't harm the magazine. If you are specifically concerned about the magazine springs, what wears that part out is the cycles of compression and rebound as the magazine is loaded and unloaded.

[atovera]

thanks for all the post guys...I just was not sure what the will happen to the magazine (or its parts) if it is loaded all the time...
