tulammo

[WillyUSMC]

I have shot it in 9mm, 40s&w, and 223 with no problems..... I'm almost disappointed that no one has said something about "Russian crap" and "steel cased sucks" and so forth. Works great for range, and quite a bit easier on the wallet.

Just shot another 100 of the tula .45 yest. No problems at all

 

[Dorky_D]

Shot close to 500 rounds of .223 through my Saiga. 1 FTF. Ihave had some jams with the hollow pooints, but I think it is a mag issue that I am working on.

I have shot 40 rounds of .40 through a Glock. I have shot 150 rounds of 9mm through my M&P.

It is cheap, and the paper does not care what you hit it with!

 

[Big House]

i fired 200 rounds through my beretta 92 with no malfunctions but i will never use this ammo again. i will gladly spend the extra dollar to keep my guns cleaner. this stuff is very dirty.

Silver bear makes 9x18, it's a zinc coated case and you can even get JHPs.
All of the Tula, silver bear, and wolf ran fine for me.

 

[CalebToNowhere]

I've never had a problem with the .45acp. Just bought 20 boxes to put back for SHTF. 20 boxes fits perfect in a .50 cal ammo can.

I've not had any problems with several thousand rounds of .223 and 7.62x39.
I bought a ton of it when Centerfire Systems had it for....I think 180-something per thousand. Not sure now what the price was.
It's kinda weak, but works well for general plinking and practice.
I have zero experiance with their handgun ammo but I'm willing to give it a try. Sometimes I shoot at places where I lose alot of my brass. With steel cases/no worry.

 

[Plinkuh]

It smells of mothballs when fired, and is dirtier than hell. But other than that, I've not experienced too much difficulty with it.

 

[03A3]

It is nasty. Makes my eyes burn and water. It's not the only brand that like that though.

 

[Outlaw]

I've shot thousands of 7.62 with not a single problem. Never had a problem with their .45 acp but bought a box of .380 and a quarter of them failed to fire.

 

[jayhawk]

I've had multiple 9mm tula rounds fail to fire after a solid primer strike. Never had that happen with any other brand. I mostly use WWB or Federal from Walmart for range ammo.

 

[Dorky_D]

BTW at $9 a box for 9mm, $13 a box for .40 and $5 a box for .223 at Walmart. You cannot hardly beat that online unless you buy in bulk and the shipping is dirt cheap.

I will shoot the crap out of it at that price. When I get better and can afford to be pickier with my ammo, (and can actually tell a difference) I will do so.

 

[JohnP82]

I have used their 7.63x39, .223, 9mm., and .40s&w ammo with no issues and I have shot ALOT of it. For me it is cheap and it works.

 

[Hk91_son]

I have used about every caliber of it and only problem I saw was with the 9mm in a M&P fullsize, stove pipes and failure to eject or cycle. Great for practice nonetheless.

 

[bullfrog4ever]

I used some tula when I had my sig p250 40s&w, about every other round was fte, got stuck in the chamber, I had to use my leatherman to pry it out. My friends m&p had issues with it as well, but not as many. I had many problems with my p250 and tula, needless to say, I don't use either any more. But that was my experience, your mileage may vary...

 

[zombiehunter]

I've bought and shot around 1000 rounds of 9mm and I've only had 1 problem with failure to feed.....and I think it was because of a crappy cheap magazine and not because of the ammo.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

For those that have experienced the fte problem, I wonder if it could be due to the lacquer coating that I understand is on the casings? I have had okay luck with it in 7.62x39 and I have 5 boxes of .223 that I haven't tried yet.

 

[indykid]

The other day I tried to run some of their "Hunting Cartridges" in my SAR-3 (.223). I had numerous fail to ejects and when I put my finger on the round that was halfway out of the breech, it was ice cold. I had many that just barely cleared the rifle and when I picked them up, they too were ice cold. The ones that got flung the proper distance for an AK, I was able to walk over to, and when picking up, they were still blazing hot like they should be.

Absolutely no consistency in the batch I have. Very disappointed.

As for the coating, I have found that the polymer coated ones that do heat up properly (as in loaded right) will slowly glue themselves into the breech as the polymer melts and then acts like a glue. I have never had any problems with the old lacquer cased ammo and now wish I could find some. I would rather put up with the mess they left and have a consistent load then have ammo that glues itself in your rifle causing it to become a hammer.

 

[gunman41mag]

I think tula & wolf are the same

 

[NullSyndrome]

Out of 700 rounds of 9mm Tula, I have had one fail to fire. It fired on the second strike. No jams of any kind. For cheap range fodder, it works ok, at least in my Glock 17.

It's not match grade or self defense ammo. Just accept that it's just cheap practice ammo.
