What is the primary rule to follow when choosing the proper ammunition for your firearm?

Use only the caliber or gauge for your firearm
Choose the cheapest ammunition
Use ammunition that fits tightly
Select ammunition based on its color

The correct answer is: Use only the caliber or gauge for your firearm

Choosing the proper ammunition for your firearm is crucial for safety and accuracy. Option B, choosing the cheapest ammunition, is incorrect because cheaper ammunition may not be of high quality and can cause damage to your firearm. Option C, using ammunition that fits tightly, is also incorrect because not all types of ammunition that fit your firearm may be suitable for it. Finally, option D, selecting ammunition based on its color, is incorrect because the color does not determine the compatibility and performance of the ammunition in your firearm. The primary rule to follow is to use only the caliber or gauge specified for your firearm, as using the wrong ammunition can have dangerous consequences.
