Larry, how do you recommend storing mags, loaded or unloaded? my mags i ordered from 44mag came in and i was thinking about loading them. i tend to get to the range no more than once every 2 months at best.

thanks

Most people (I think) will say that storing magazines loaded, even for very long periods of time, is harmless. It is the repeated compression and expansion, or loading and unloading, that wears the spring.

It's about time we discuss this.    It's been what?  Three days since it came up.  
The answer is simple, Store what you need loaded and stash the rest.  Have a large enough stash that your grandchildren can use them to fight AliBama's Radical Clerics.
