ammunition. It is your responsibility to read and heed all warnings in
this owner’s manual and on ammunition boxes. See Section 13 for
more information on the correct ammunition for your firearm.

available ammunition which has been loaded in accordance with
standards established by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition
Manufacturers’ Institute (SAAMI).
