The local WMart has TULA ammunition now; steel cased FMJ in .45 ACP, .223, and 7.62X39mm. The .45 ACP is $14.97 / 50 so I was thinking of buying some. Anyone have experience with TULA ammo??

Just ran some .30 Carbine a week or so ago.

It worked!

No problems.

Can't comment on it being"dirty".

Cheaper Than Dirt (http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/ItemListing.aspx?catid=646&pagenumber=3) is curently running a "sale" on Tula.

For example i have ordered 5 boxes of 45ACP, delivered to the house, $78.91 (including S&H). That's $15.78/50rd box.

If I figure the sales tax right (7%) WalMart's $14.97 would come out $16.01/50rd box.

Just something to think about.

FYI - Their 9mm Tula is $8.29/50rd box, plus S&H (or $159.79/900rds plus S&H).

TULA - have shot some of it in different calibers - much like Wolf ... yea, a little dirty but went "bang" all the time .. no problems on this end!!

I know more than a few had problems with it in .223 at camp McCain. Just keep them well oiled.

I agree with XD, keep it well oiled or greased and make sure to clean it well after you're done. I didn't have any problems with the Tula ammo I used.

 

[nonnieselman]

i cleaned my AR till it was spotless and had it oiled down with Militec1, in the next 300rds, i had 3 stuck cases..
Ran a mag thru dockrockers AR and had one stick.
Think the batch i got had some hot rounds ?

 

[M1GarandFan]

I shot the 62 gr. Tula hollow point at McCain without any issues with it, however I did have one Monarch 55gr. steel case stick in the chamber but it was dislodged after a good hard bump and it performed fine after that.

Wrap Up

Today, 9:40-AM, FedEx came rapping upon my door. Pretty good turn-around. Ordered from CTD on Thurs, 10/7 at 9:10AM.

A buddy of mine shot some of this through his 45. He loaded his mag, fired a few rounds, de-cocked it, and sat it on the table, with a round still in the chamber. 2 seconds later, it went off. by itself.

Did you witness it? Was it a 1911 45? Was it a pistol with a decocker? I have never heard of a round spontaneously firing.

I don't shoot steel cased ammo through anything that I care about.

yep. i was there. it was a charles daly 1911. the one with the pressure safety on the back of the handle. so either he didn't actually de-cock it and the hammer somehow let loose without him touching it, or the round just went off.
