I've found that pressing the pellets flush with the front of the mag, by placing the mag on a flat surface and pushing the pellets in as far as they will go with a nail or a biro, causes the skirt to engage on the walls of the chambers and keeps them in position better. I've never had a pellet come loose since...

That sounds like a great idea!
Should prevent miss-fires too.
