I never know how much space I will get at some safezones, nor what the weather will be like and I am usually distracted by whatever has decided not to work at that moment that the least I have to prep' on site the better, so I generally load up and set up my belt/PC order the day before...much to the unhidden chagrin of my wife...
Loading the night before? / midcaps , opinions please

Hard to argue with that, although i still tend to pre-load even then.

All my guns are modded so loading the mags the night before is one less thing to worry about when each of them inevitably breaks each in their own interesting and pita way

I never do because it takes literally like 5 minutes to load them all up at the start of the game day. Can do it while having a chat before the safety brief.
Also I'm paranoid about stuff breaking and I've heard it can weaken the spring too. May be total myth, but as it's so low effort to fill the mags in the morning that I just do it then to be 100% safe.

I remember this urban legend doing the rounds when I first got in to the game around '06, in fact it was accepted as gospel on forums by absolutely everyone without any dissenters. It's possible that midcaps at the time had different type/lower quality springs, or maybe the myth stemmed from hi-caps as I've no idea whether it's a good idea to leave those wound for a long period in storage (no need to so I wouldn't see a reason to do that anyway). The thing I find somewhat funny is this myth also extends in to the military, not just at an individual but organisational level even though the reality is the same. I've got a G2 PMAG loaded with 30 dummy 556 and a Lancer mag also loaded with the same, both been fully loaded for years, springs in both are still absolutely hench.

In answer to the OP....... entirely up to you. I load the night before personally.
Just please don't be that guy that turns up 2 minutes before the safety brief then starts loading 12 odd mags thus holding up the day for everyone else.
