Any of ya'll have Issues when you leave these loaded for a few weeks? I got side tracked several weeks ago, and when shooting tonight had several Fail to feed?
BX-25 Mags Stored Loaded

I agree, to me a Mag SHOULD be loaded. But I was Surprised tonight.
It shouldn't be a problem but what boolits are you using? If it is the Thunderbolts, that's typical
That applies to the typical coil springs that are compressed when a magazine is loaded. The Bx15 and BX25 magazines use a flat spring that is rolled up, similar to an old style clock, that is extended and pulls the follower to the top of the magazine body rather than pushes it.
In other words, I don't know if that applies, I can find all sorts of articles about spring compression but nothing about spring extension.
ETA: I've left BX25 and BX15 magazines loaded for months at a time and not had any feed issues. They do require cleaning however.
Black Box HP. I wondered if it was the Ammo. But to be Honest, shot a **** ton of this with no issue before. I may be overthinking it though....
What wheeler said
Had a single BX25 loaded with Thunderbolts for over 5 years easy and every single one went bang...
I’ve got a few factory 10rd rotary mags and I know one has been sitting loaded for prob 10 years, I think I may go and see if they run now hahaha
