ABSTRACT:
A magazine (10) stores a plurality of cartridges for sequential loading into a firearm (12). The magazine (10) comprises a storage zone (32), a transition zone (34), and a loading zone (36). The cartridges are configured in a double-X pattern in the storage zone (32) and a straight stack configuration in the loading zone (36). Rails (146 and 148) hold nose end portions of the cartridges while allowing rim ends of the cartridges to spread apart into contact with the sidewalls (42 and 44) of the storage zone (32). As the cartridge pass through the transition zone (34) the inwardly sloping sidewalls (56 and 58) bring the rim ends back together into the straight stack configuration.
