Me personally, i load all 30 if a 30 round mag. All 20 if a 20 mag and so on. Keep in mind, i'm not in combat. BTW, welcome to the forum..............

You shouldn't have any problems loading your mags to full capacity, as that's what they were designed for. The reasoning behind downloading mags to 28rds is not to avoid jams as most people think, but to allow positive seating of the mag with the bolt closed, such as in a tactical reload. I download all of my AR mags myself, because that is how I was trained, and that's how I carry my mags at work.

Most of my 30-rounders with Ranger Plates only loads 29 comfortably. So I usually just load 28 rounds to make it even. My 20's with RP can load 20, but would not lock, so 19 it is. Also, makes charging less harder.

My milspec mags get fully loaded. I once got some "cheap" 20 round stell things that I only use 15 to 17 rounds in. These are the ones that usually go to the range as I rarely shoot fully loaded mags there anyways.

Standard 30 round mags without "modifications" = 30 rounds.
Mags with Magpul Ranger plates = 28. |

I could load 30 rounds in my D&H USGI mags with Magpul followers and Ranger plates.
It takes a little more effort to seat it in, so sometimes I load it only 28 rounds to make loading easier. |

Carefull with the tracer- a lot of ranges don't allow them. My local range in Pungo had a problem when a Navy guy started a fire from a tracer that rico'd out of the range and into the forest behind it- OOPS!

I think he was talking about as a tactical load, not a general range load... TS

FYI, I discovered that you can load 32 rounds into a cheap USA AR mag once.
The follower spring looked like a pretzel afterwards!  I put 30 in 30s and 20 in 20s. If there's a problem, I simply remove that mag from service and sell it to some unsuspecting schmo. CJ |

I load 30 rounds in a 30 rounder and 20 rounds in a 20 rounder. I load 100 rounds in my BetaCs.
