the magazine spring also has to be stronger to lift the extra weight of the bullets.
Uh, actually not - the magazine spring isn't 'lifting' anything - it is maintaining PRESSURE on the loaded rounds - the slight additional weight of the bullets (approx. two ounces in 15 rounds - figuring the difference between 124 and 185 grain bullets) is not going to inhibit the magazine spring in any way.
