  1. The longer the mag the faster the curve of the pressure from the spring increases. Because at full load the spring is overcoming a significant increase of weight and friction. So pistol mags around the 15-17 round count usually are still pretty loadable entirely by hand. Especially after the mag spring has taken it's initial set. With those STEN mags, they're coming in without an initial set on the spring as well, so even harder still. Unless they're mags you've used and carried for a length of time.

  2.  @vickersmg  Maybe you would know, was there ever an effort to provide 9mm on stripper clips for STEN or Sterling mags? I'd imagine that it would be much more possible on double feed mags. Sort of like the spoon and stripper for STANAG mags.
