Yea Mike, I agree with you. I ran into the issue at the wac on sunday, where i dropped my big stick and reloaded to my 155 but would have and dry with 4 targets left so I had to pick up the 170 off the ground. I know this is a major NoNo, but it worked out in my favor. The only time I have needed an 3rd mag is during classifiers where you have to have a 2nd string with a another reload.
