Tula ammo

[Guest Longshot1]

Any feedback on this Russian ammo. Speaking specifically about the steel case, Berdan primed stuff. Does the polymer coated casings present a problem?

I bought and shot 1k in my AR. No problem. It is dirty and you probably should clean after each outing.

Never had any problems with the polymer coated stuff. The old lacquer stuff would gum up your chamber when it got hot.

I've shot Tula ammo in both 9mm and .40 with no problems. Only 100 rounds or so though. It's cheap but it works.

Works but dirty.

Consistent with what I have read and heard. Got a couple thousand rounds coming so we will see.

You'll be happy.

I seem to have to clean my guns no matter what ammo I shoot.

I agree, but it is dirtier than WWB or my reloads.

I've been through a bit of 9mm, a few boxes of .40 and a few boxes of 5.56. I've had no issues. I clean every time I shoot regardless. I don't detail clean, but since I clean often, my guns don't seem to get dirty enough to need it.

Practically every range class ammo made is somebody's claim to being the dirtiest.

I can't see much diff in all the cheapo stuff I shoot, in any caliber.

Plus, almost all brands vary over time...what you buy now is not necessarily the same as what you'll get two years hence.

Well I have seen powdersmoke a few times shooting Tula in my G27 lol

Exactly!

And I may be in the minority here but I don't clean my stainless barrel guns every outing, more like every 1000rds. I just make sure the chamber is clean and wipe down the outside.

I've shot the .45 variety and works just fine. I don't like it cause you cant reload the cases, but it shoots fine.
