Ammunition
Kimber firearms are designed to function
effectively with quality factory-manufactured
ammunition in the caliber for which the firearm is
chambered. The following is information to help
avoid potential ammunition related problems.
[indent[Do not use +P+ ammunition because
its pressures could exceed maximums
established by the Sporting Arms and
Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute, Inc.
of the United States (SAAMI) and result in
an unsafe condition that may cause serious
injury or property damage.[/indent]
1. Kimber recommends the use of high quality
American factory-made ammunition.
2. Do not oil cartridges or spray lubricants,
preservatives or cleaners on cartridges
or where excess spray may come into
contact with cartridges. Lubricants and
other foreign matter on cartridges may
cause potentially dangerous ammunition
malfunctions. Use only ammunition of the
caliber for which a firearm is chambered.
3. The use of reloaded, hand-loaded,
remanufactured or other non-standard
ammunition voids all warranties.
Kimber specifically disclaims responsibility
for any injury or damage whatsoever
occurring in connection with, or as a
result of, the use in Kimber firearms
of faulty, reloaded, hand-loaded,
remanufactured or other non-standard
ammunition, or of cartridges other
than those for which the firearm was
originally chambered.
4. Use only ammunition of the caliber for
which a firearm is chambered. Improper
ammunition and improperly loaded
ammunition can be extremely dangerous.
Severe damage to the firearm and serious
injury to the shooter or to others may
result. Always use ammunition that
complies with the industry performance
standards established by SAAMI.
Death, serious injury, or damage to the firearm
may result from any condition causing
excessive pressure inside the chamber
or barrel when a round is fired. Excess
pressure may be caused by obstruction in
the barrel, propellant powder overloads
or by the use of incorrect or improperly-
assembled cartridges. In addition, the use
of a dirty, corroded or damaged cartridge
may lead to a burst case and consequent
damage to the firearm and personal injury
from the sudden escape of high-pressure
propellant gas within the firearm’s
mechanism.
