Bodyguard 2.0 magazines damaging brass???

[rm250c2]

Hello all. New bodyguard owner. Read many of threads about the stiff new mags. Keeping them loaded has helped. I have noticed something weird. After leaving the mags loaded for a couple days I unloaded them to see if it was easier to load again. It was. although still need a loader assist on the 12 rounder. What I noticed is almost all the rounds have a crease in the casing. The rounds were never cycled or even the mag never inserted in the gun. It is not a crimp as I inserted new ammo from a box and verified none has this crease. I think they are having the be compressed down so hard they are being pushed into the sidewall of the magazine and being creased by the area of the mag that the arrow is pointing to. The mark lines up perfectly with where the crease is. Any thoughts on this? I am 99% sure the rounds will still fire, but it bothers me rounds are being damaged on a gun I will possibly carry.

Same here. Takes too much pressure to load causing dents

As noted in my previous post, my cases are being creased by the magazine.

So far I have had zero issues with 258 rounds total of combination Winchester PDX1 Defender BJHP, Sig Sauer Elite Performance JHP, Hornady Custom XTP, Hornady Critical Defense FTX, Federal HST JHP, PMC Bronze FMJ, Magtech FMJ, Winchester Flat Nose FMJ, Sig Sauer Elite Performance Flat Nose.

Guessing the crease was always there, you just never noticed it. It's what happens when you crimp the mouth of the case around the base of the projectile when loading the things, especially on factory loads that are being run though an automated press at high speed with various batches of brass and bullets.

Without question, the crease that I see, and have observed after 4 times loading the BG2 mags with fresh out of the box ammo, are because the 3 rounds that end up at the 1" indentation on the magazines are being compressed against the indentation at the point that 9 rounds are loaded with an UpLULA. The crease appears on only those 3 rounds, and only extends around the case about 3/8".
