Does leaving magazines loaded ruin them?

I have three Glock mags that have been loaded for years. I unloaded the good rounds to test them about six months ago, and they fed perfectly. I think I put about 60 rounds through each of them.

Shooting the **** out of them is best.

Mags are supposed to be neither loaded all the time nor sit around empty all the time. Use them!!

If the mags wear out or the springs compress, don't worry about it. Just replace them and be happy!
