Magpul makes a nice 10 rounder and an 'adaptor' to make a 5 out of it. MI req 5 for semi auto hunting.
Always keep their suppled cap on it. The plastic feed lips can move around if left loaded for a long period of time without the cap. Just something I heard - sounds reasonable since some plastics can cold flow.

MO requires the use of 10 round mags during deer season even though not hunting deer. We use mostly 10 round mags for all hunting since they're easier to carry. I've had MagPul 10 round mags loaded for 2 years with and w/o the snap on covers and not had any feed lip spreading. Maybe if left loaded in direct sun on hot days, things might be different.
