I hate to say it, but I think the spring set theory is bunk.
While I agree that is good to rotate carry mags, and to not leave mags charged forever, I do not believe that downloading 2 or 3 rounds will change the service life of a spring. Modern metallurgy gives great component life for springs that are used within their design intent.
On the AR riles, it is common to not be able to seat a mag that is fully loaded. I only load 28 into a 30 round magazine so I can seat it when the bolt carrier is forward. When the mags are fully charged, there is not enough room left in the mag body to drop the top round down as it comes to rest on the bolt.
Just my $0.02.

Stanley,
I have an issue with a 12 round USP 45 fullsize Magazine. very time I use it the gun has a function failure at round number 5. The slide usually is stuck back far enough that you can clearly see the round. I have 4 magazines for this weapon and this is the only one that this problem ever shows up on. My other promag magazines are absolutely flawless. I have tried several different types and brands of ammo. All my other magazines are good, except this bad actor. What disturbs me most is the fact that this happens with 230gr FMJ ball ammo (winchester white box) and Remington as well. I normally only load 10 Rnds. to prevent the springs from taking a set (military training). I have segregated this magazine from the rest so as not to use it in a carry weapon until I get this resolved. Any assistance you can render will be much appreciated.
V/R
Let's see how this turns out!
Got a brand new mag from Promag today VIA UPS. Great service!!!
