I still have about 12 of them left that will never be fired from my M&P45's after one of my barrels was seized with one. If you are willing to take the chance of the same happening with your weapon then feel free to go ahead I know I will not ever use this steel case ammo again it is not worth the trouble or potential of it!

do not shoot this **** out of anything but an AK. trust me, you wont like the results...as in catastrophic failures, personal injury. i saw an, or should i say the remains of an AR, recently. shoot the first 5 or 6 fine. then, wammo! barrel bulge, case stuck in chamber, broken extractor. use caution.

9mm, no problems.

.45 ACP, recently concerning me. Firing it through my SR1911 and I'll occasionally see sparks spray out of the barrel.

I've only ever tried the stuff in .45ACP and it was so under powered that it barely cycled the slide of my CS45. The cases were just kind of falling out of the ejection port. I promptly stopped using it.

Never had any problem with it. Fired 223, 7.62x54, 7.62x39, 308, 9mm, 45,

In 3 years of owning my M&P 45 it has yet to see bras casings. Going on 5000 rounds +/-. Gets cleaned once a year or so. Has been 100% reliable since day 1

Shoot Tula, Wolf, Brown Bear almost exclusively since 1998 in every type of gun i own/owned including old Lugers and 1911s. Never failed to cycle, extract, fire..etc..etc. Only problems ever had were 2 hard primers requiring a second strike in my Glock 19 and 2 where the primers were set to deep and the firing pin couldnt touch (AK47).

Guns are made of stronger metal then the casing. If the gun breaks its usually a problem with the gun.

If you have any and dont want it send it to me for proper disposal.

I've had no problems with 9mm, 40 S&W and 45. I did have problems with a box of .380. Seized up my BG380. Tulammo reimbursed me for the bad box, but I won't use Tulammo in any of my smaller guns anymore.

I've had to drive cases out of a few pistols (several brands, including S&W) for people, and there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to which gun it sticks in. Some people shoot it regularly with no problems.

I suspect it is a quality control problem with individual ammo rather than any fundamental design problem with using steel cases, since the problems seem random.
