Got a Cabelas flyer in the mail the other day. Had an ad for Tula .223 for 500 rds for $115. Steel cased, poymer coated.
Anyone tried it? seems like decent cheap blasting ammo. Or is it Wolfs bastard cousin?

I bought 160 rounds when they had it on sale for $4.49 a box. Shot 80 so far without any problems in my Stag/BCM M4.

I'm pretty sure the Tula plant is the same plant that wolf is made in.http://wrigleyammo.com/catalogammunition/rifle-ammunition-223556-c-21_22.html

Much Wolf is made by Tula.  This is the plant that makes Wolf Black Box ammo-which also means that the Tula-branded ammunition is likely to be Boxer primed and thus reloadable.

Read the ComBloc Ammo FAQ for lots more interesting info on who makes what.

I just got 2K rounds dropped off yesterday from Cabela's.  The 4 dry boxes they sent with the ammo are a pretty nice bonus for $214 per K.

Hopefully I'll get out to shoot some of it in the next week or two, I forsee no problems since my AR's eat wolf like candy.

I'd expect that most Tula-loaded ammo uses basically the same powders...which would mean that there's likely the same amount of soot left behind as well.  Is that the case?
