The correct answer is: Only the caliber or gauge your firearm is designed for

The correct answer is that you should only use the caliber or gauge your firearm is designed for. Each firearm is engineered to operate with specific types of ammunition, and using the correct caliber or gauge ensures safety, reliability, and optimal performance. Mismatched ammunition can result in serious malfunctions, damage to the firearm, or even personal injury. Therefore, it is critical to always refer to the manufacturer's specifications for your firearm to determine which ammunition is appropriate.
