Just for another opinion and limited hands-on experience…
I had always wondered about the evolution of the 10xx magazine follower. My 1006 was purchased new by my friend in summer 1992 and I bought it from him in 1994 or maybe 1995? It came with two mags, both yellow follower. Years back I added more mags to my cache but just in the chase for more experience… I chose to hardly ever use the white follower mags and I just used the heck out of my old school original yellow follower mags.
I figured "well, if I'm gonna see a malfunction related to the yellow follower mags, I'll know!"
I'll try to be fast with this list.
Factory Winchester 180gr JHP, 180gr FMJ. Winchester 175gr Silvertip JHP. Federal 180gr JHP. Federal Hydra-Shock JHP. Old school Black Hills blue box re-man, assorted flavors. Zero re-man 180gr JHP. Buffalo Bore 180gr JHP. Remington… hmmm 200gr FMJ, maybe? Most of these from the 1990's. Some Silvertip and the Buffalo Bore from the 2000's.
Handloads: Nosler 150gr JHP. Locally cast 175gr SWC and 200gr cast TC FP's. Precision Delta 180gr FMJ. Hornady 180gr XTP and 200gr FMJ. Federal 180gr HST. And perhaps more I've forgotten.
All of the above (ALL) with no failures to fire, feed, extract, or eject and all while using original 1992 yellow follower magazines.
YMMV but my mileage hasn't varied.
