6 PRINCIPLES OF AMMO HANDLING
1. NEVER TUMBLE, DRAG, THROW OR DROP INDIVIDUAL CARTRIDGES OR BOXES OF CARTRIDGES. 2. DO NOT ALLOW SMOKING, OPEN FLAMES, OR OTHER FIRE HAZARDS AROUND AMMUNITION STORAGE AREAS. 3. INSPECT EACH CARTRIDGE BEFORE IT IS LOADED FOR FIRING. DIRTY AMMUNITION CAN DAMAGE THE WEAPON OR AFFECT THE ACCURACY OF THE ROUND. 4. KEEP THE AMMUNITION DRY AND COOL. 5. NEVER MAKE UNAUTHORIZED ALTERATIONS OR MIX COMPONENTS OF ONE LOT WITH ANOTHER. 6. EACH PROJECTILE MUST BE INSPECTED TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS NO LEAKAGE OF THE CONTENTS AND THAT THE PROJECTILE IS CORRECTLY ASSEMBLED.
