I just found that my local WM had about 10 or 12 boxes on the shelf this morning (rare) for $19.97 a box of 50. That's cheaper than they sell Win. white box for...when they have it.
They have a 3 box limit.
I had never seen brass case TulAmmo before. It looked pretty good so I bought two boxes because I need some fresh ammo for an upcoming HR218 qualification.

Default Didn't work so well in my Shield 9MM

I bought a couple of the 100 round cans of this at WM a few months back. Figured it would be good enough for plinking with my shield. Bad mistake. Out of one 100 round can I had 7 FTE, 1 bullet that didn't even make it to the target at 25 feet (actually found the bullet laying on the ground next to the target). And one round jammed in the gun that took me several minutes to dislodge and remove. The jammed round was a live round. At this point I discontinued use and will be contacting Tula about this. I have shot several other brands of ammo thru my Shield and haven't had a single problem. I thought after reading several reviews online that it would be good 2 go. Not in my experience. Hopefully my case is just an isolated incident and others do not experience the issues I have had.

I saw TulAmmo and was gonna keep walking - I don't care for steel cased ammo. Looked again and saw that this was 9mm 115gr BRASS cased FMJ. Ammo is made in Bosnia.

Bought 3 on the spot...and 3 more on my through at the end of the day. They had maybe 20 of these plastic 100rd tins. $22.50/100rd. WHAT A STEAL!

Anyone else use them? I shot about 50rds and they worked just fine. No issues at all.

i picked up one of these on friday...i seem to have some accuracy issues with the tullammo steel so i didn't wanna go overboard if i have the same with the brass...i know the issue is with me...my brother was accurate with it in my shield...i could barely hit the paper with it...

My local WM only got the BrassMaxx ammo in once! I picked up a box in 9mm for $13.97. Shot perfect in my Ruger P89DC. I have been using the brass as a test; reloading it with my Lee Handloading Kit. The brass has been loaded 3 times so far, with no issues with the brass and no issues with functioning through the gun; even though it's only neck sized. Load data is as follows: 125 gr. Falcon Bullet Co. CN Cast Bullet, 3.5 Grs. Alliant Red Dot Powder, CCI #500 Small Pistol Primer. C.O.L. - 1.135".

I have been very pleased with this load. Shoots accurately and functions perfectly. I hope I can continue to find the brass to continue the test-so far, so good! :-)

I've shot quite a bit of this in 40 S&W with zero issues. Pretty good stuff IMHO.

I've shot it in 380, 9mm, and 40s&w without any problems. The first time my walmart had any it was in 380 and I bought all 8 boxes for $12.00 a box.

I've gone through a half-dozen boxes of the 9mm "made in Italy" with no problem at all.
One box of the "made in Bosnia" was erratic. Each round was different, from one round that actually fell to the range floor with not much more noise than a 22, to one that had such a muzzle flash that it blew loose brass down the lane. The range folks accused me of being a poor reloader until they saw that it was "factory" ammo.

NEVER again.

Went to the range today with 200 rounds of 9mm tulamax brass ammo made in Bosnia. Flawless through the glock. Accurate at at 15 yards. We even shot steel at one hundred yards. I would buy this stuff by the case. Good ammo and great press
