tul ammo

[Bang_button]

My Glocks run fine on it. Both in 9mm (G17 and G26) and 45 ACP (G30S). Of course, they'll digest just about anything.

Anybody have any experience with it. From what I can find is its from russia. At 15.00 for 50 rounds of .45 is cheap. Its pretty much the only thing that I can find still in stock a wally world. So if no one buys it it must suck right?

If you have any respect for your firearm, use good brass ammo. Plain and simple.

Brass is softer than steel......................less wear and tear on your firearm.

Doesn't harm the gun. Never had an issue with it in any rifle or handgun. If it cycles well in your gun use it.

I picked up 400 rounds of 115grn 9mm (BRASS cased) Tula at Academy. I bought it for the simple reason, it was all I could get! I brought some out to break in a pair of Citadel 9mm compacts a while back. I had also picked up a pair Kahr K9 mags for carry so the old NYPD trade-in ate some cheap brass too.
Results were mixed, the Citadels tended to have failures at ejection. These were brand new guns and the extractor marks left me thinking the ejectors were clocking. At round 58, the firing pin in "gun two" broke, interesting... I had never broke a firing pin in a 1911 before, ever. "Gun one" ran more or less ok, but I also found a few "light primer strikes" that fired fine with a second hit. Several rounds (four) would not chamber in the Citadel period.
Funny thing was the K9 ate those "bad" rounds fine. One round would not chamber in any of the three guns we brought. Other than that one round, the K9 ate all the Tula that was feed to it. Tula makes brass cased rounds, but it's nothing to brag about.
I've come to believe that the issues we experienced were caused by hard primers. I have a Smith model 10 PPC gun that will not work with CCI primers rounds and has some issues with Remington's. It loves Federals and Winchesters primers though, go figure. Seems to me Tula ammo must be loaded with surplus Military primers and powder (??) or commercial stuff whichever is cheapest that day.
That, or the water cooler in the QC dept is full of cheap Vodka...

Tula is okay but I still would rather buy Winchester white box. The only problem is both are still slowly coming back to stores around me.

I have shot a ton of Tula in my Sigs and HK's with no issues.

I never had any issues, buts it's dirty and weak( if .40 is too snappy for you try tula .40 it's very tame). I'd rather pay a few cents more and train with better ammo that feels more like SD ammo.

If you are a reloader, you'd better make sure your European ammunition is Boxer primed and reloadable. A lot of the ammo from Europe is Berdan primed and there are very few American made reloading tools set up for handling Berdan primers. Not only that but Berdan primers aren't sold by many shooter supply stores here. For those of you who are unfamiliar with a Berdan primed case, the case usually comes with two flash holes and the primer anvil is in the primer pocket itself and not in the primer like in a Boxer primer. You an feel the difference immediately if you've ever tried to decap a Berdan primer with a decapping die made for a Boxer primer.
