I probably lose one every five years; seems I lose or "misplace" a part every day-though sometimes I find it later in the strangest places.

Seriously, every thing breaks sooner or later; however, I don't see the "power" of the round having any real effect on the hold open.

Mind that none of them were mine. It happened to different people throughout those years.

And yes, nothing lasts forever if it's being used. Don't believe the holdopen breakage is ammo related. It simply gets slammed every time the magazine is empty. That's 14 times in one single match.
