In competition I only use 20 round magazines, like most AR shooters. The 30 rounders just don't work well when shooting prone, as I can't snuggle in low with the rifle without the mag touching the ground (which may then cause a double feed). But this is only my preference...I do hear of shooters who actually use the 30 rounder to rest on their chest when shooting offhand, and shoot from a higher position when at prone.
I understand why the military moved strictly to 30 rounders - but WHY must they destroy all the 20 rounders?
