AMMUNITION CONT’D
WARNING: NEVER USE NON-STANDARD, RELOADED
OR “HANDLOADED” AMMUNITION WHICH HAS NOT
BEEN SUBJECTED TO INTERNAL BALLISTIC PRES-
SURE TESTING. RELOADED OR HANDLOADED AMMUNITION,
MAY HAVE MANY MANUFACTURING AND QUALITY VARI-
ABLES (SUCH AS THE TYPE AND AMOUNT OF GUN POW-
DER). ANY AMMUNITION THAT IS IMPROPERLY MANUFAC-
TURED, EVEN IN THE SLIGHTEST DEGREE, MAY FAIL TO FIRE
OR MAY GENERATE EXCESSIVE INTERNAL PRESSURES
WHICH CAN DAMAGE OR EVEN RUPTURE THE FIREARM,
CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH TO THE SHOOTER
OR THOSE IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY.
A firearm and ammunition are a system and must work together.
Their performance is closely related. There are different types of
ammunition for different types of firearms. Your firearm has
been designed for ammunition of a specific type and a specific
gauge or caliber. It is important to select the proper ammunition
for your firearm.
Different combinations of bullet velocity, bullet weight and firearm
weight can have major impact on felt recoil; high felt recoil can
be uncomfortable to some shooters.
WARNING: NEVER USE AMMUNITION OF THE
INCORRECT GAUGE OR CALIBER. USING AMMUNI-
TION OF THE INCORRECT GAUGE OR CALIBER MAY
CAUSE DAMAGE TO YOUR FIREARM AND POSSIBLE SERI-
OUS INJURY TO YOU AND TO OTHERS.
WARNING: DEATH, SERIOUS INJURY AND DAMAGE
CAN RESULT FROM THE USE OF INCORRECT
AMMUNITION OR BORE OBSTRUCTIONS.
