How do you keep the tower from wearing down so quickly?

It is a new tower (the first wore down) and already after loading about 10 times you can see clear cut grooves in the tower from the bullet points.

I am using the loader provided.

Any ideas on how to minimize wear other than manually load the rounds one by one or not use the damn thing?

Contact the manufacturer. I heard they will replace the C mags if you complain about problems or issues.

I used my Beta for the 4th time and I see these cuts in the tower. Are they from the rounds being pushed out of the mag and into the gun?

To me it looks like it is the result of inserting the rounds.

I do use the mag loader with the stripper clips. If it can't be fixed I would rather pay for new towers than have to load it one round at a time. I just would have thought the tower would last a bit longer than it does.

JThompson would a LULA help the tower situation? You still have to keep a long thin flathead screw driver to pop the LULA off however.
