ever had issues with Tula Ammo?

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - ever had issues with Tula Ammo?

Posted: 1/20/2013 2:46:06 PM EDT

Only a few rounds but I noticed some of the Tula 9mm I shot out of my glock it hit the primer but didn't shoot. I loaded one of the rounds again and second time it fired. I ran through about 45 rounds of that box without issue.

Anyone else had issues with that brand?

i have had problems with tula 223 in my rifle, some hard primers which when ran through again went bang, some double feeds and fail to lock the bolt/cycle correctly, but ive read this is due to gas port sizing, they have been gtg in .45 in my 1911 though so..no experiance with their 9mm offerings

My Bushwhacker hated it. A bit too dirty for its taste I suspect.

2 failures out of 100 rnds thru my AR (never bothered trying anymore) never had an issue with numerous boxes of 9mm thru my M&P FS

In my AR I've never had an issue that wasn't mag related.

In my .40, I had one failure to eject cause the round was stuck in the chamber, and a few failures to feed.

Only Tula I have shot was bought in 1992.

Soviet .mil ammo fed without a problem.

Yes, I cleaned it well

Never had an issue with any steel ammo (including tula) in AR or any of my pistols. Steel is pretty much all I buy.

Dirtiest ammo ever and about 1/40 has a dud primer.

My experience also.

It was cheap as shit though, so I have no problems using it up knowing what I have.

A round of Tula .223 locked up my rifle last year at a match. No visible defects, and the rifle ran fine for the rest of the day, so I wrote that one off as a fluke. I still use it (or whatever's cheapest) for 99% of my rifle shooting.

9mm Tula is generally OK, though for the price I just buy bulk brass-cased, or Federal value packs at Walmart for a few bucks more.

I had some problems with casings getting stuck in the chamber in 2 different ARs on several occasions. I had to pour lube down the barrel and let them sit for a few days then beat the shit out of a cleaning rod with a hammer to get them out. Real pain in the ass. I still shoot it though, as its only happened a few times in at least 500 rounds

No, its awesome stuff I use when I cant/wont pick up my brass.

ETA I wont use it in a 1911 due to the extractor.

Buddy of mine had is HK 45 explode while we where at the range a few years ago. He had to pay out of pocket to fix it because neither HK or TULA would cover it.

I had problems with ONE box of TulAmmo 9mm; several wouldn't fire out of my G19.....duds.

All other boxes and calibers have been GTG with my weapons; it's my outdoor plinking ammo.

9mm Tulammo was surprisingly accurate. A little dirty, but functioned 100%. I have not had any FTF problems but have seen a few rounds that failed to fire with what appeared to be light primer strikes, so the primers may be a little hard. Works fine for training ammo.

It was selling for $20 a box .223 this funshow.
