Safety Practices to Help You Avoid Using Wrong Ammunition
Safety practices that will help you avoid using the wrong ammunition are:
- Purchase only the correct ammunition for your firearm. Buy the exact caliber and length of ammunition for which your rifle was designed.
- Carry only the correct ammunition for the firearm you’re using. Never mix ammunition, such as carrying a caliber your companion uses.
