Thanks Cosmo.
So are you saying that I should keep range mags totally seperate from my carry mags and leave the carry mags full?

Magazine Rotation
Recently I have been in the habit of rotating which magazine holds the defensive rounds. Evrytime I shoot a weapon, I clean the gun and the magazine used at the range and then load one of those mags with PD ammo. The system seems to work fine but I have a few of questions.
1) What is the best way to mark (number) the magazines without damaging them?
2) Is rotating the magazines really of any importance? My theory was to relieve the tension on the spring more than anything else
3) What is the optimum number of magazines per weapon?
4) Do you keep a magazine (or two) loaded with PD ammo all the time? (even while at the range)
I usually drop out the PD mag, clear the gun and put the mag to one side until I have finished shooting so that magazine isn't used at the range with range ammo.
I guess I am trying to make sure I don't damage a magazine by keeping it under permanent load.
Any thoughts/comments wlecomed.
