Long story short it just wont feed in my pistol, was wondering if anyone else had any issues like this with this ammo and pistol. I think the ogive of the bullet is just too round and protrudes into the throat of the barrel. All my other ammo is fine, and when I checked the case and oal with calipers they were the same as the ammo that drops right in.

I suck with the pics, but basically one is a WW White box, brass case sits flush and then the other is a pic of the Tul where it sits up maybe a 1/10 inch above.

TulAmmo or any steel case is not recommended for the TCP.  Not many have success with it.  Spend a hair more for some brass stuff.

After a little more searching on the net found several other forums where this was apparently an issue back in mid 2012-2013, apparently it was an issue in LCP, P3AT, Bodyguards, and TCP's, most complained about the big ogive bullets too.  don't know if new tulammo will be any better. But I bet my box was bought back then, it was part of my ammo stashes.

As for shooting the steel cases, I agree and know they are hard on guns, but sometimes it just the cheap SOB in me that makes me buy it.... try not too.... but......

I need to just break down and get some dies and save my brass cases. I WILL be staying away from the steel cased stuff....sometimes we have to learn the hard way.

Thanks!

I've put 100 rounds through my C series TCP with no problems.
That was last year when there was no other .380 available.
I wont run any more, though.
The only feeding issues I've had is with a ProMag extended mag. Fail to feed at least every other mag.

ETA: That is for ball ammo. It does not like Hornady CD ammo, needs a rounder projectile.
