What are the key firearm safety rules regarding ammunition?

Always treat every firearm as if it were loaded. Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot. Be sure of your target and what is beyond it. Ensure ammunition is correctly oriented and loaded into magazines and chambers properly.
