Avoid the 380 caliber of TulAmmo at all cost Review by Paul

I am a long time TulAmmo user. I have probably used 30,000 rounds of it in .45 and 9mm over the years. I never bought the "dirty ammo" verbiage since it always worked fine for me. I had a FTF or FTE now and then, but it was very rare and at a similar rate as conventional brass.

Then I ran into the 380 TulAmmo. Ouch. Very very bad. If you hold it up next to other types - Federal or Hornady for instance - you can visually see that it's fatter and not milled correctly.

If you take out your barrel and drop a bullet in the end, you'll see that it doesn't seat correctly. The end sticks out farther than conventional brass cartridges. I don't know why.

In both P238 and P232, we had multiple FTF, FTE and FTRs. This was in two different boxes of TulAmmo 380, before and after using Federal brass which worked perfectly fine.

DO NOT BUY THIS STUFF. (Posted on 11/19/12)

Some problems jamming and is a bit dirty. Called customer service. They recommended Frog Lube. Got it from another vendor. No problems since I cleaned my gun and treated it but knowing the problems I had will probably switch to brass.. (Posted on 10/4/12)

Works good in my Ruger LC9. Out of 1000, only had 2 that didn't fire. (Posted on 5/30/12)

Avoid if you're using a Walther PK380 Review by RyanMN

My wife carries a Walther PK380. .380 ACP practice ammo is of course, rather pricey no matter where you shop. This seemed like a good opportunity to get some reasonably cheap practice ammo for her, plus I've had good luck with Tula's ammo in my CZ-75b 9mm. I knew going in that there could be issues with this ammo:

-My CZ will eat anything, including children.
-Smaller pistols have tighter tolerances
-There appears to be less laquer sprayed on Tula than other steel cased ammo.

That being said, I had multiple failures to feed, eject and fire with the Tula ammo in the Walther PK380. Mind you, this is not an indictment of this particular brand or ammo. Your mileage may vary depending on your gun. However, if you do carry a Walther PK380 as your primary or backup gun, I would recommend brass cased ammunition only. (Posted on 5/8/12)
