Your average AR shouod he able to eat everything and if it can’t I don’t care what brand it is, it’s worthless imo. I just don’t understand. Why? Why tolerate a gun that is finicky? |

Tula is junk but all of my AR's have always functioned just fine with it. It's dirty, underpowered, and inaccurate, but it's never failed to feed and go bang for me. That's on a wildly overgassed 7.5", a soft shooting 11.5" with adjustable gas block, and a couple 16" carbine length uppers.

I have 10.5's and 11.8's that chew that shit all day long. Load one round, shoot it, does the bolt lock back? Start from there.

Just to play Devil's Advocate... The OP might have a underpowered batch ( technically, lot ) of Tula.
I kind of shutter as to Tula QC. And I would fully clean the chamber, and try again... steel cases can be fussy, since they really don't seal a chamber as well as brass cases. How cold is where you are at ? Your firearm typically will be sluggish in the cold.. combine that with underpowered Tula... and you might be at the ragged edge for 100% function with your specific setup. Semi-Auto's functioning can be oddly effected by the cold more then most of us realize. |

The new zinc coated tula? or the old copper wash bullet tula.
The zinc works good for me, shoots pretty decent. |

Tula is known to pretty much be the weakest of the weak. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Just avoid it in the future.

2 PSA 10.5" pistols - never an issue Tula. I use standard carbine buffer.

Tula actually chronos fast out of a 16” barrel. It’s a slow burning powder but I think that slower burning powder doesn’t always play well with ARs if they’re undergassed. Would not be my first choice out of a 10” barrel. For me it doesn’t group as consistently as other steel case .223
If switching to a std. buffer won’t run Tula, I’d try a softer buffer spring, like a Springco yellow. I have a .300bo 8” pistol with a lightweight carrier, std. buffer and Springco yellow for subs and I swap in a std. spring & H2 buffer for supers. |
