Anybody have an experience or insight on this steel cased round?  Smoking deal on it at palmetto right now.

My girlfriend's dad just bought 1000 rounds of Tula 62 gr. HPs for hog/deer hunting.  Can't give any specifics on reliability except for a few failures to feed with the 55 gr. fmj in my 16 inch middy.  What were you looking to do with the ammo? If you're just plinking I'm sure it will be fine.  If you're hunting, you want decent reliable groups, but they don't have to be the size of a quarter...just as long as you can hit the vitals aka "Minute-of-Whitetail." If you're looking to use it for extreme long range accuracy, there may be better rounds.  The only way to know is to try it out. What gets 2-3 MOA out of my rifle might get 0.75 MOA out of yours...they're all different.  I will tell you this though, if you're hunting, even though they say they have a tendency to fragment, a lot of GA boys around here swear by those Tula 75 gr. HPs.  So again, it would depend on what you're using it for as to whether or not 3 MOA would make a difference to you or not.

Thank you very much.  My search fu is weak, or the search function sucks.  Appreciate it.

Seemed to be loaded light to me. I had to go to a CAR buffer to make it cycle. Everything H1 and h2 was too heavy.

Hornady training ammo is 50 cents a round.. You are getting TAP rounds in steel cases....

I was at Cabellas this morning and decided to give this stuff a try. I grabbed 2 boxes of 55GR got home and loaded 30 rounds in one mag and the 9  in a second mag. I saved one round in a 3rd mag so I could test out accuracy with a hot barrel. I put in the first mag and let it rip as fast as I could pull the trigger. Dropped the mag and popped in the second. Ran those through the same way. Dropped that mag and popped in the last round. Took aim and hit real close to center on a 3" circle in the middle of a snow storm and 14 degrees. I was happy enough that I will buy more of it. It was only $5 a box so you cant go wrong.
