Ammo heads up Tula brass max walmarto

[Ammo First]

Took my trusty 5906TSW To the range tonight. Right off the bat, first magazine, it jambed up three times. Failure to extract. *** I thought to myself, this thing has never failed, not once. I shot a bit more, same result FTE. I saved all my brass and went to the Gunsmith for help. He shot my pistol some with the same result. After examining the spent brass we noticed some pretty heavy scraping on the side of the cases, even deeper scrape marks on the FTE Rounds. I put The Tula away and pulled out some blazer brass, went thru 100 rounds no issues. Seems the Tula brass was expanding to much and getting stuck in the chamber. Tried a second box of the Tula with the same result. I thought it might be okay ammo to use, it says made in Italy. I've still got 300 more rounds of this Garbage

I was going to say, agreed, the BrassMaxx, in the 100 round can from Bosnia is junk, and suggest that the Italian version, 50 round box is good to go.

Oh well. Different guns. If you didn't like the Italian version, stay very far away from the 100 round plastic cans. They are worse.

I shot the BrassMaxx just because it was available. Given availability of Blazer Brass, WWB, or Rem UMC these days, I won't buy it again.

I shoot it all the time in a notoriously fussy Steyr L9-A1. Haven't seen the Italian BrassMaxx for a year. Both the Italian boxed and the Bosnian round can works fine for me. Clearly a hotter load than UMC green box, Perfecta, ZQ 124 gr, or even the blue box Fiocchii. None of those will cycle properly for me.

I shoot the Brass Max all the time in my Shield and M&P Compact with no issues 100% reliable.

I just got my Shield today. Went to the range and shot a few rounds with some different Hollow points with no issues. Shot around 40-50 rounds of Tula brass max and had a couple of stove pipes. Did not have any other fmj rounds with me to try. But other than that everything seemed to be fine. I figured the issues I had were ammo and not the gun being it was brand new. However it being brand new and still has stiff springs my have played a role along with the Cheap Ammo. I probably wont be buying this ammo again. I got it at walmart (not that where really matters) Its not the least I have paid for ammo but close. I'll stick with ammo with better reputations. preferable USA made.

I have an old 559 that loves the ZQ1 9mm NATO stuff. It was fussy with everything before I stumbled on that. I bet it would be awesome in your 5906. It goes around 1200 fps through my chrony but feels good to shoot. Its fairly inexpensive and I have accumulated a bunch.

Most of my 5906 target/practice ammo is Tula TulAmmo and BrassMAXX. I have yet to have a problem with either one of them.

Missed this thread originally. OP, you can send all that garbage my way. If you see this PM me

Never had any issues with the Brass max 100 round round box stuff. However had some serious FTE issues in my 910 and case swelling issues in 4 different 9mm pistols with several boxes of Winchester white box 115 grain. It was all noticeably undersized brass with super thin rims that the 910 couldn't grab with the ejector. These are the ONLY rounds so far that my 910 would not feed.

I also had some FTE's, light primer strikes, and stovepipes with Tula Brassmax 230 gr 45 FMJ's during my CHL qualification course. The recoil through my 1911 felt significantly lighter too, and I personally believe they were skimping on powder.
