I want to say it was in one of the books from G. Michael Hopf's New World Series.Oh, if it is a chore, no worries. I was just curious. Thank you.
I do the same thing. Green for 62gr LAP, Blue for SD rounds, red for 77gr, and Orange for 75gr Speer JSP. No tape means it is 55gr only which is what I mostly shoot at the gun range.I've been really happy with the Magpul mags in the 30 round variety. Running them in the AR15 and AR10 platforms. I did resort to putting plastic tape bands on them to quickly identify which is which (.223, 300BLK, .308).

I have a massive order inbound from GO to hedge against measure 114 passing. It's a great place to shop for mags.Global Ordnance made things way to easy to acquire a significant amount of 30 rounders.
I read an apocalypse novel where the guy put his wife in a bunker with 5 ammo cans full of loaded 30 round mags and told her she can only stop shooting if she's dead or her gun melts. I will always remember that scene in the book as not only did it make me smile, it's exactly what I'd do.
@CountryGent , if the wife's the one thinking that little carbine you have is her ideal
rig if stuff goes down. I think you would like that idea too!
Im not a huge fan of the drums. The 40 round ones are pretty slick. I mostly got them as they were that sand color that rit dye works well with. However they are great, work just as well as the 30s.

I've noticed that single well placed shots in a short amount of time tends to cause even "trained" people to never move again, so with that in mind any size mag that allows a person to maintain consistently accurate fire helps reduce the frequency of mag changes.I've noticed that a high volume of fire in a short amount of time tends to cause even "trained" people to decide retreating is a good idea, so with that in mind the Magpul 40 round options allows. a person to dump 20 rounds in quick order and still have 20 available without a mag change.
Yep the 20 rounders just work, one of my 20's is a colt mag I've had for a looong time, it's my go to mag for testing a new gun or build. Iirc the 20 was the original ar mag.I hear you. While my answer is super-boring, the little I shoot ARs, I kind of just stick with 20-round box magazines. (Oh, there's 30s and at least one of the coffin mags floating around, and at least one lil' flush-fitting hunting mag. But, yah, the old 20-round box mags just work.)

Fire supression is a thing, but probably not typically employed, or desireable, in your average self defense scenario. YMMV
Evidently... only LEO's are trained to mag dump on city streets.
Did you get the steel mags?I have a massive order inbound from GO to hedge against measure 114 passing. It's a great place to shop for mags.
Things might change in a situation where their ammo becomes finite and not readily available.Evidently... only LEO's are trained to mag dump on city streets.
