It seems to be accepted (at least for handguns) that magazines can be loaded to their capacity and left that way without injury to the magazine spring.
In my youth, I thought I was told that the services only loaded the M14 mags to about 18 rounds.
Can anyone confirm if that was true?
If it was true, what was the reason?
Is there any reason to treat a quality rifle magazine differently than one does handgun mags?
