Then the BCG/buffer bounce back off the RE and start forward before the mass of the ammo stack can reverse direction. Obviously the more ammo in the mag, the weight of said ammo and the particular amount of drag present all affect this. Someone with a transparent mag or Magpul window mag and a high speed camera could confirm or lay to rest this theory...

I thought the bcg at rest was already in its lowest position, and that as it travels to the rear and the skid clears the round stack the next round will actually move up a fraction of an inch, well in advance of the bcg as it returns to battery.
Are you claiming the bcg pushes the rounds down when it travels to the rear?
