Get a magazine loader device specific to the magazine. Or perhaps a universal type. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Zos_7e-c4t0

Feeding the last few rounds will be iffy if you lighten the springs enough to be any different at filling the magazine up.

Extra stiff spring helps ensure magazine reliability. Don't trim it. My full answer is here:

Note that with some magazines, cramming the "last" round in can be next to impossible. EG, the "so-called" 16 round magazine is really a 15 round one. With ones like that, I just don't load the last one.

EG, I think I'm OK with only 15/16 9mms or 29/30 .223s.
