Default I load my mags to full capacity but only for my HD pistol.

The spring in the magazine is already compressed to fit into the magazine, So just sitting empty its under compression.

Good thing about the chemistry of spring steel is that it has those pesky Carbon atom in there which prevent sliding of the iron molecules. Which means....

I also don't disassemble my gun when they're just sitting around to save the springs in the guns.

Default Correct, but that's not the spring's fault.

The plastic shotshells deform into ovals and won't feed properly into the chamber.

I'd just leave the bolt open...
