Cycling of the spring is what weakens it which isn't a good thing. Leaving ammo in the mag. isn't good either. As stated above, and of particular importance in rounds you suspect have inadequate crimp (or those loosened with multiple chamberings) these rounds are subjected to recoil every time the weapon fires, reminiscent of a kinetic hammer.
I don't disagree with your solution smalls but again, we're talking about a company with a proven track record. On the opposite end of the spectrum we know little about you (no offense). It may be that Hornady uses less crimp than other brands you've tried or that bullet profile or OAL was less conducive to set-back in your pistols. I don't see that as a shortcoming of the ammo but rather of the pistol. It's not uncommon, most don't really "eat everything", most owners just don't try, care or notice what you have noticed.
