Sorry if this has been asked, I searched and didnt come up with much.

Does anyone else has issues with these rounds failing to eject and jamming their AR? Every one failed in my RRA gun, but I havent ran one through the S&W yet, a little nervous....I bought 500 of them and would hate to not be able to use them

Any one have experiences similar??

I have had zero problems out of mine as well. It is a well broken in gun though. I suspect your S&W isn't going to have any issues because it would be odd to have two seperate brands exhibit the same problems. The Tula is a little underpowered but not like Wolf. It runs 2850~ in my 16" AR.

Is it not extracting the rounds from the chamber or is it extracting them but they are getting hung up in the action? The two have two totally different causes.

If you single load will the bolt lock back? If it does then it is not the ammo. If it doesn't it is not necessarily the ammo either but could be part of the problem.

I would look at replacing your extractor spring if the gun is used. I would replace it with a decent one anyways like those from BCM. Check to make sure your ejector has tension on it as well. Check your bolt to make sure the gas rings are not aligned or broken, there should be three.

I would also do like Garufa said and make sure your chamber is clean.

I would grab a 45 caliber bore mop and use some metal polish like Flitz. Chuck it into a drill and give it about 30 seconds of in and out of the chamber while spinning it. This will clean and smooth the chamber without causing any problems. Make sure to get all of it out of the chamber area before firing.

what buffer/spring/barrel length do you have? I was used a heavy buffer,spring, 14.5 barrel as well as a muzzel brake...I think that was the problem with mine just not enought recoil and pressure to over come the heavy buffer and spring

Mine would eject but not reload (short cycling)

If I shot a single round on the RRA, the bolt would not lock back, it would get jammed midway. It did this on 2 separate brand new RRAs on back to back days, that were cleaned properly. You couldnt even pull the lever back.

Gun was a flat top RRA, 16 "

New S&W is MP15OR, factory stock, have only shot 1 full magazine though it and they were brass and worked perfectly, worried about the tulammo though

My good buddy can run it through his RRA all day, but his gun has seen plently of use

I've run a couple hundred through the Colt LE6920 with not a single problem. Aside from being a little dirtier than the brass ammo I'd used previously, I didn't notice any difference with the Tula. But I doubt I'll buy anymore since finding PMC Bronze .223 online for a few cents more than Wal-Mart's Tula price per box of 20.

I think is has to do with the guns being broken in......I can get the federal or the PMC for about the same price and they have brass cases. I'll just stick to what it shoots best

Silly question, but were they lubed adequately?

Did you have a magazine in the gun when your fired the single round?

It almost sounds like a charging handle impingement malfunction.

Here is a video on how to deal with it as well as a few others.

At this point I would just avoid the Tula ammo if it is giving you taht many problems. Maybe after the guns are broken in with a few more hundred rounds they might work better.

Other than the malfunctions there is no chance of the Tula ammo harming our firearms.
