The reason you single load for off-hand and prone, is the same reason you have a magazine change for the rapid fires; marksmanship training and the ability to properly operate your rifle in a variety of situations. The same goes for going from standing to sitting. It refers to the fact that this is a service rifle match and the relation it has to infantry training. If we were just concerned about putting rounds downrange, they would let you load ten rounds for every course of fire and not bother with magazine changes or single loading.
