USA BUSHMASTER AMMUNITION ADVISORY
BUSHMASTER’S RECOMMENDATIONS FOR AMMUNITION SELECTION ARE STATED IN OUR WARRANTY. CAUTION: USE ONLY CLEAN, DRY, HIGH QUALITY, COMMERCIALLY MANUFACTURED AMMUNITION IN GOOD CONDITION which is appropriate to the 5.56mm NATO / .223 Remington Caliber of your firearm. We do not recommend the use of re-manufactured or hand loaded ammunition because it may damage your rifle. The use of improper ammunition will invalidate your warranty. We extend this recommendation to include .308, 9mm (9mm x 19mm) and .22 LR Rimfire ammunition for our products in those calibers as well. Recently, we have seen instances where poor quality, re-manufactured, or over powered ammunition has caused damage to firearms.
To ensure your safety, we are publishing this advisory regarding some brands of ammunition that we cannot recommend.
DO NOT USE: CCI Blazer 9mm Aluminum Cased Ammunition in blowback operation guns (i.e. our 9mm Carbine and Pistol)
DO NOT USE: Olympic 9mm Ammunition - manufactured in Greece
DO NOT USE: American Brand 9mm Ammunition
BUSHMASTER PERSONNEL have used the following ammunitions in various calibers for testing at the factory, and found they will cycle without malfunction and have not caused damage or problems:
