•
Reject rounds that have bullets seated too
far in or out of their cases. They make an
uneven clip or belt that will jam your weapon.
•
Turn in rounds that are loose, split or have
lopsided points.
•
Avoid belted machine gun ammunition
with weak, broken or stretched links.
•
Don’t use rifle clips or magazines with
dents, bulges, cracks or weak springs.
Once you’ve determined your
small arms ammunition is safe,
keep it that way by storing it in
closed metal containers. That
keeps the ammo dry and out of
the direct rays of the sun in hot
weather.
Make sure you save all inner
and outer packing material for
repackaging unused small arms
ammunition for turn-in.
