If the mags are common enough, such as AR or AK or Glock 9mm, then if SHTF you cannot have too many. It is likely that a neighbor or group member might lose a mag, or have one (or more) that stops working, and not have enough spares. Having enough mags that you can afford to trade/give some to someone else is as beneficial as having plenty of ammo which can be bartered/shared.
I just bought 14 SIG 226 9mm mags when I already had more than enough for a loadout (4-5) for each SIG. Worst case, I could sell/barter them. The only downside is that now I have to test each mag to make sure it works properly before relying on it, and that burns up ammo.
