    I have seen ribs put into magazine .30/06 to stop it..years ago
    when shooting wallabies with .270 the bottom rounds would get mashed as may have 10-15 rounds fired above them before I emptied the mag and got down to them..constantly topped up mag during day.... nosler ballistic tipped rounds in bottom of mag stopped any issue...with plain jane soft points I used to use, of all things a pair of tullen shears and simply remove the exposed lead tip so the tip was flat and had copper jacket and flat lead across tip...kind of how modern corelocts and the federal blue box stuff is...certainly didnt effect accuracy in hunting terms,some of the longest shots pulled off were using rounds altered in this way.
