I personally would not recommend this. It gives your BB's a nice little coating of lube themselves, which plays hell with the airborne ballistics when fired. You're just not loading them correctly.
When you are first starting out, you need to hand load each one, one at a time. Make sure each bb you put in stacks in the right place on the opposite side of the magazine of the bb you just inserted before it. Put in
exactly the correct number of BB's the magazine was made for, then release the spring catch. You should get a perfectly stacked magazine with no gaps.
It's just a slow process until you learn to tilt the magazine at the right angle every other BB so you get a perfect stack. It may also help to quickly shake the mag up and down when a bb doesn't stack on the correct side - this, I have found, will often cause the BB's to miraculously settle in their appropriate spots.
If you get a perfect stack and your BB's are still not feeding well, you may need to replace the follower spring.
*Edit* In case you haven't caught on yet, the "spring holder thingy" is called the spring catch.
