Default TulAmmo at Walmart

Anyone know anything about this stuff?

It's at my Walmart for about $13 per 50ct, 180gr FMJ in .40SW. I tried a box yesterday along with my usual Fed 180. It's Russian made with steel case. It had almost no felt recoil at all.

I only had about 50 rounds through my M&P40c prior to yesterday, but I noticed a couple times that I could actually see and feel the slide cycling like it was in slow-motion. It was pretty bizarre. I'm wondering if it was the ammo or what. It happened several times with the TulAmmo, and only once with the Feds. I stripped it down immediately to see if something was out of place, but I didn't see anything.

Any ideas?

Well I just looked at their ballistics chart, and I noticed that the energy at 10yards is only 216 ft-lbs. Is that low enough to inhibit the efficient cycling of the slide?

I got a couple boxes at WM. I've tried it in my M&P 40c. I had quite a few FTL's. (during my CPL range testing) It was hanging up on the ramp. I'll polish the ramp and try shooting it again. Cheaperthandirt.com has it for $11.69 per 50. Also .380 ACP for $11.49 per 50.

I bought a bunch in both so I hope it gets better in the 40S&W

That's lower than most regular .38 Specials, and some .32's IIRC.
