I take it you are shooting a retro mag by your forum name. The reg seat oring shouldn't take any abuse. I shoot many cases or paint plus countless dry fires through my mags without ever changing an oring. I bought a retro oring kit 5 years ago and still have most of it. I also have most of my classic oring kit that I bought back in 1993. Orings are not something that gets chewed up if you properly lubricate your mag and prevent debris from getting in.
