Which ammunition should you use?

  1. Any ammunition that fits

  2. Only the ammunition specified by the gun manufacturer

  3. The cheapest ammunition you can find

  4. Ammunition that is popular among most hunters

The correct answer is: Only the ammunition specified by the gun manufacturer

Choosing option B is the safest and most recommended option. Using ammunition specified by the gun manufacturer ensures that the ammunition is compatible with your specific gun and will function properly. Using ammunition that simply fits can be dangerous and may cause malfunctions. Choosing the cheapest ammunition could also be dangerous as it may not be of good quality and could potentially cause harm while shooting. Using ammunition that is popular among hunters may also work, but it is best to follow the manufacturer's specifications for your own safety.
