This newly manufactured 223 Remington ammunition is PERFECT for target practice, range training, or plinking. It is both economical and reliable and is produced by one of the most established ammunition plants in the world.
Tula ammunition derives its name from its birthplace, the Tula Cartridge Works in Tula, Russia. This same plant also produces many of the products branded in the United States as "Wolf Ammunition".
The Tula Cartridge Works plant was founded in 1880 and is currently one of the largest ammunition manufacturing plants in the world. The Tula name has gained a following worldwide for its rugged, reliable, and economical product. This cartridge complies with CIP requirements and the casing features a polymer-coated steel casing with a non-corrosive Boxer Primer. The projectile features a bimetal jacket (contains steel and copper) and a lead core resulting in excellent ballistics characteristics.
This ammunition is rugged like the country where it was manufactured and keeps its qualities under temperatures ranging from -4 degrees Fahrenheit to 122 degrees Fahrenheit ensuring that it will perform when needed most.

They are boxer primed which is half the battle. You might research "reloading steel cased ammo" on youtube for more opionions.

( Tue, 12 Jun 2012 23:05:32 +0000 ) : This is the one problem I've seen with making an issue of the type of primer: IT'S A MOOT POINT WHEN THE CASINGS ARE MADE OF STEEL AND CAN'T BE RELOADED ANYWAY. Might as well save a few $ and buy the cheaper Brown Bear and get yourself a few extra rounds for the same cost of the tunafish can these come in. Heck, you can always put 'em in a mil-surplus ammo can with some dried rice if storage is an issue...

( Wed, 13 Jun 2012 15:25:07 +0000 ) : Hi Chuck, you make good points about the primers, but I believe Tula warrants at least an extra penny or two more per round based upon other factors. Plus the ammo tin is way COOL (-:

( Sun, 15 Jul 2012 22:30:16 +0000 ) : my bushmaster ar-15 will only cycle brass ammo, all others just wont load after 2 0r 3 shots, any suggestions why would be very helpful :)
Christopher Errico
( Sun, 15 Jul 2012 23:59:31 +0000 ) : Ask my shit-head brother, he may know.
Daniel Black
( Mon, 16 Jul 2012 01:28:28 +0000 ) : Um....use brass ammo.
Emanuel D. Errico III
( Mon, 16 Jul 2012 02:07:49 +0000 ) : You trying to cycle that russian wolf crap? Yea there some tricks to get it to work but it might require some gunsmithing. Not sure if it's worth it.
Lucky Gunner Ammo
( Mon, 16 Jul 2012 13:03:42 +0000 ) : Hi Jerry, Unfortunately, not every weapon will cycle steel-cased ammo as steel is a harder metal with different expansion characteristics than brass.
Daniel Black
( Mon, 16 Jul 2012 15:26:28 +0000 ) : Just for the record Jerry, that steel wolf ammo does'nt cylce through my Mini-14 very well either.
Chris Addison
( Thu, 19 Jul 2012 04:53:36 +0000 ) : i have a rock river and bushmaster xm15 and they both shoot steel fine.. dont know if something is wrong with yours but id say its the ammo, steel casing can be very particular sometimes. you'll be better off using brass in the long run anyway
Paul Brazell
( Fri, 16 Nov 2012 23:13:37 +0000 ) : lube your bolt after each mag the powder has much more residue
Aaron Candelario
( Fri, 16 Nov 2012 06:45:17 +0000 ) : Great ammo!!! Have a Bushmaster ar-15 that has almost all of its 8000rd life with this stuff. And as far as all the problems people have with it with all the different guns and calibers i have shot this ammo through it is all about taking care of your gun. And it takes care of you
Lucky Gunner Ammo
( Fri, 16 Nov 2012 13:08:14 +0000 ) : Yep, maintenance is so important. However, I've seen cases where 2 of the same model (and identically cared) weapons run differently on the same box of ammo. Sometimes experimentation with different ammo is necessary.
