Question about "Tulammo"

[Fir3hawk]

Put 100 rounds of steel cased TulAmmo .40 S&W 180gr FMJ through my FS M&P .40 and it did fine. I don't care for the ammo so I won't buy it unless it's all I can fine, but all 100 rounds went through my gun fine. Wouldn't use it for anything other than range use though.

I run Tul(common misconception that it's Tula, there's only one A there) pretty exclusively at the range in my Sport because I'm running a slidefire and when 30 rounds takes about 3 seconds, price is a pretty big factor. Haven't had a single FT-anything with it or a stuck casing in my chamber. And that's going through a LOT of steel in a very small time. Everyone could have different results, so just run some and see how you like it. I would personally never use it as my carry ammo though. Just because I'm a pretty firm believer in "you get what you pay for". Even if I might pay little more for a gimmick, I know in the long run it's still better and when it comes to my, the woman I love, and the life of my unborn child, is the savings really worth it?

No. Its Tula Ammo they just write it with one "A" for both. Like ....Tul A mmo.

Tula is a Russian city and houses a factory by the same name. Tula factory makes AKs amongst other weapons. If you have ever seen or heard of the TT-33 handgun it stands for Tula (factory where it was made) Tokarev (inventor) 33 (year 1933)

As long as you inspect each cartridge before use I wouldn't worry about it. I've seem so really bad winchester from the factory.

So many opinions. I have shot a couple hundred rounds through my Beretta 92GSD and had no problems.

Me, I only use it in my AK.

I stand corrected. Another case of being misinformed and believing it. My apologies. Speaking of this stuff, I just recently found a couple boxes that got pretty wet and rusted. I'm not going to try them, but how should I properly dispose of them? Don't just wanna throw them away so they end up in the dump or something

What cal? And how rusted? Usually i dispose of my by sending it down range.

I used to be against Tulammo. Used to. Until one buddy kept buying the stuff for his 9mm and another bought it for his M&P Sport. Each time I used some of their ammo and never had a problem. Then I realized that maybe I was against Tulammo due to hearing that someone had heard from a friend who heard from a guy that heard from someone at his gun club that Tulammo was junk. Everything I've seen with my own eyes has been positive. I don't buy it because I'm collecting brass for eventual reloading.

Bad ammo and it gets worse so just send me your Tula and be safe and I shoot it and NO problems and now they have TulAmmo BrassMAXX

One of my local indoor range sells this stuff, but won't allow you to shoot it in their range? What's up with that?

I reload way better quality ammo than this Tulammo, and cheaper to boast tooo.

My local indoor range won't allow it either, I asked him why and he took a magnet and picked up three rounds by the bullet end, steel core as well as steel case. I guess they don't like bullets bouncing around off the back stop.

It's not the steel cases that are the problem, as long as they are poly coated and not laquer coated; it's the bi-metal bullet that wears out the bore, much faster than copper jacketed bullets.
Here's a report on it:

They dont "bounce" around. They just go through. At least that's what every Bubba thinks. That ammo is about as armor piercing as a common 308.

Do me a favor and actually cut one open

Cut one open? Like just pull it apart?

 

[WilsonFlyer]

Methinks the best ammo is the ammo you can buy and shoot.

 

[2tango2]

I have a few boxes of the stuff in 9, 45 and 223. Havent had a chance to shoot it but my guess is that is on par with the Wolf ammo that Walmart used to sell?

 

[gnystrom]

At our range, on any given weekend, hundreds of rounds of Tula are fired without incident. The only thing I would watch for is a slight buildup in the chamber as the gun gets hot. Sometimes the coating on the cases can transfer to your chamber. I would clean your gun when you are finished shooting for the day. YMMV

Pull the bullet out and cut it in half long ways. I was referring to the post about the bullet attracting a magnet. Not about the rusty ammo! .

Some of that rust doesn't seem too bad. Id shoot...some...

I have shot the steel case Tula without any issues. I will say that due to the added friction of the steel cases, they don't load and properly stack in the mags all the time. They bind on each other and sometimes even feel loose. It is cheap ammo but I don't think I'll be buying steel cases again.
