I am aware that in a magazine-fed firearm, the quality of the magazine will directly affect the reliability of the weapon system. However, I have never thought of the magazine as having an affect on the ACCURACY.

I have received advice from an individual to try a different magazine in my rifle, in order to see if the one I'm using is causing my poor performance. Heck, I'll try it, but I don't see how a magazine could negatively affect my rifle's accuracy.

Anyone out there have any experience w/ a magazine of any kind of firearm (not just rifle) throwing off your firearm's accuracy, or enhancing it?
