rifle

If you have to ask that question you really need to put the rifle away and get somebody who knows what they're doing to school you a little on firearms.

I don't mean this to sound rude, but it's obvious you have little or no knowledge of firearms safety... Doing what you are asking could very easily kill you.

My apologies if my response came across a little brash...

However I feel that a question such as this should be met with a somewhat "firm" reprimand, if for no other reason than to get the point across.

I believe (as I'm 100% sure you all do) that it is the responsibility of any gun owner to know how their firearm works. I understand that some are more competent than others, but using the correct ammunition for your weapon is one of THE most important rules of firearm safety. The fact that the OP asked his question in the first place leads me to believe that he has no knowledge of the "Rules of Firearm Safety," and should most certainly acquaint himself.

Here is the NRA page for the Rules. There is a wealth of other great information here as well.
