Details
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 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 Berdan Primer. The projectile features a bimetal jacket (contains steel and copper) and a lead core resulting in excellent ballistics characteristics.
Muzzle Velocity: 1150 fps
Max Pressure: 35,500 psi
Video Transcript:
The Tula Cartridge Works is located in Russia where they've been making ammo since 1880. Their steel-cased ammo features a non-corrosive primer and a polymer coating to aid with function and reliability.
Tula claims that their polymer coating, unlike some other steel-cased ammo, is non-hazardous, and is a lot safer to shoot. I don't have any way to verify this, but if you shoot in any kind of volume, that's something you might want to consider.
The bullet features a lead core with a bimetal jacket made of zinc and steel. Some shooting ranges don't like you to use ammo that will attract a magnet so be sure to check with your range first.
We tested the 115 grain 9mm ammo and it had great function and reliability in most of our guns. The only problem we had was with an old Smith and Wesson 39-13. And we had one failure to extract. We had the same kind of failure when using Wolf ammo in this gun. So it really just doesn't like steel ammo period.
We tested accuracy from 15 yards with a benchrest and were really impressed with the results we got, which you can see in this 10-shot group. Tula Ammo is very competitively priced and is a great choice for the range if your guns don't mind steel and you don't reload. If you have any doubts, just check out the reviews on the website.

-
Loved the fast service and shipping!! When loading the mags for my S&W SD9VE after 8-10 rounds it would jam up my mags. A few times a casing would not fully eject and I would have a stove pipe. LOVE LUCKYGUNNERS but not happy with this Ammo! Hoping I can find a way to exchange it.Performance Value Quality
Stay safe and happy shooting! (Posted on 11/17/12) - Fantastic Review by Sparky

So far have been through close to 3000 rounds of this ammo and only 3 FTFs (light primer strikes) fed them through my 9mm ar-15, sd9, m&p, m&p shield, keltec pf9, and a glock 26. (all 3 FTFs were in the keltec so I think it might have been the guns fault) but regardless this ammo is great stuff. Very clean, very accurate, and VERY reliable. I recommend this ammo to anyone for any gun. (Posted on 11/6/12)Performance Value Quality - Average at Best from Kahr CM and CW9 perspective Review by Phil
-
These metal bullets of course from just besides being metal and from the heat of the gun fire makes it more difficult to clean from the welding agents it produces since my receiver and barrel are stainless steel rather than polymer, but these bullets fit slightly different in the clips, and jammed on more than one occasion. I must say that my Kahr pistols could't have cared any less for these, and though these are Russian, I did not have as difficult a time with the Brown Bear bullets that that I had with these.

I purchased 1000 rounds and they arrived quickly to my doorstep. Have shot 700 rounds off with my Glock 19 and have had zero problems. Despite what I have heard about this ammo. My Glock has enjoyed shooting these rounds down the range. (Posted on 10/8/12)Performance Value Quality - Great Plinking Ammo Review by Stephen

Ordered 2 cases of Tula 9mm Luger three days ago and just arrived, I was shocked to receive this order so fast and very pleased! Great job luckygunner! My Glock 17 just eats this ammo up, and saves room for more. This ammo is great for target practice, plinking and range, Thank you again luckygunner for excellent, fast service!!!!!

Already shot the case from a G-17 and 19. No misfires, misfeeds or squibs and not as dirty as other Russian Ammo is. Center mass at 25 yards, didn't drop a round. Great value!Quality Performance Value
(Posted on 6/25/12) - A very under rated ammo Review by Vabch
-
I have tried many brands of 380 and 9mm ammo. Tula makes some of the best training ammo out there. Really great ammo in both my Ruger LCP, LC9 and SR9C. The LCP loves it best of all and is very accurate. Actually my favorite training ammo. (Posted on 5/24/12)Quality Performance Value - Good BANG for the buck Review by Fly4Food

Only had one not fire, first round pumped through a brand new XD-9, all the rest have done the job. Great value and the ammo got here in 5 days. Will be buying from this wonderful site again. Go and exersice your 2nd amendment rights. Happy shooting :D (Posted on 4/28/12)Performance Value Quality - Good value! Review by David

You know what is a relaxing weekend? When you spend it plinking away. My Uzi ate this stuff like crazy. No FTFs or FTEs at all, just lots of fun blasting away at my targets. Buy this, you won't be disappointed with the price or the quality. The service and speed of Lucky Gunner has also made me a customer for life. (Posted on 4/22/12)Performance Value Quality - Not good for high capacity magazines Review by pepus
-
Great value, but not for every gun. My Taurus PT99 fired without a problem, the only issue was loading the 15 round magazine, it woulld jam with 12 or 13 rounds. With my Beretta PX4 had the same magazine problem and FTE every now and then. Service and delivery was impressive. (Posted on 4/10/12)Performance Value Quality - Impressed by the savings and performance!!! Review by William
-
What can I say, with a price like that I had to try Tula ammo and I can honestly say I have had no of FTFs and I have put 850 rds through my Ruger P95. I was expecting the Tula to be dirtier, but no difference between the Winchester White box 9mm. Very satisfied with my purchase and how fast LuckyGunner had it here!!!Great job guys 'n gals!!! (Posted on 4/8/12)Performance Value Quality - Great range ammo! Review by Flyabetes
-
This ammo is great for the range, I have had zero problems with this ammo. 1,000 rounds down zero FTF or FTE. I haven't noticed any difference in the dirtiness of this ammo compared to other brands. I recently read online that sometime last year Tula cartridge works change to a better quality powder in all their ammo. All and all this ammo was worth buying. (Posted on 4/8/12)Performance Value Quality - Inexpensive, Good Quality, Shipped Fast Review by Skipper

This was my first purchase from Lucky Gunner. The process was cheap and easy and I will definitely buy again.Performance Value Quality
I'm aware of the complaints about Tula ammo. But I spent the weekend hanging with my boys and we went through 1000 rounds in 2 days. No FTE's, FTF's or jams of any kind. My UZI ate it like crazy. My buddy's Glock eats it, no problem. We're putting a pool together to buy a lot more.
Thanks Lucky Gunner. (Posted on 4/4/12) - Great valued ammo! Review by LMO61
-
I have shot several boxes probably 500 rounds in a combination of my Hi-Point carbine and a Glock. No problems and they are not any dirtier than other brands. I shoot in open country so the fact of a 'steel' bullet and case has no effect on shooting performance. The accuracy was well within limits for my older eyes...2" groups or better.Performance Value Quality
I like the fact I don't have to worry about saving the 'brass' for reloading purposes. Just load, shoot and enjoy!! (Posted on 3/23/12) - Well worth the price and NO problems Review by engine12

Just shot a couple hundred rounds through a Walther PPQ, Kahr PM9, Ruger P89DC, and a Ruger SR9C today with NO problems at all, these rounds shot much better than the Winchester Brass I was using.... (Posted on 3/21/12)Performance Value Quality - POOR Review by Aaron
-
I bought 1000 rounds and so far have only put 150 rounds through my Sig P250 and P290, had a failure every 3 rounds. Would not buy this ammo again, sadly have 850 rounds to go. Can't wait to see the failure rate! (Posted on 3/17/12)Performance Value Quality - Concerned with quality, left with a smile on my face Review by Tim

I bought this for a weekend of breaking in my Glock 19 Gen 4 at the family range. I ran 650 rounds through the gun and then switched to 2 boxes of 124 grain brass I had left over from a previous bulk purchase (without cleaning) and worked perfectly with no FTE. That evening I cleaned the gun and setup for the next day where I ran the remaining 350 rounds plus another box of 50 white box brass 115gr FMJ. Only had 2 FTE and that was running the first clip of brass on the second day, I think I might have limp wristed the shots. The second day thoroughly cleaned the gun and was surprised about not having as much buildup as I expected from cheap ammo. So far my experience with 1000 rounds of Tula has been pleasantly surprised. (Posted on 3/5/12)Performance Value Quality - Good for target shooting!!! Review by Dap

Some Peaople don't like Tula for 1 this ammo is cleaner than winchester white box. My taurus pt111 mil pro eats this stuff up with no problems. I have shot over 600 rounds and had no issues. Try it for yourself see if you like. (Posted on 2/21/12)Performance Value Quality - 250+ rounds and no problems. Review by jdilegge

I have shot over 250 rounds and no issues. No locks ups. No misfires. No problems at all. All shots on target and no damage to my handgun. CrazyDog and RN must be novices and have crap guns, I had no issues. (Posted on 2/19/12)Performance Value Quality - great ammo for the range Review by Big Paul
-
Had a bunch of family coming over for the holidays and they don't get to shoot where there from (NY). Figured I buy this cheap ammo so they can get a bunch of rounds off at the range. I put this through an uzi, berettas, some compact xd's and had no problems. no FTF's or FTE's. Ammo worked great. Made the guns a little dirtier, unburnt powder but for the price it was a no brainer (Posted on 1/9/12)Performance Value Quality - Great affordable targhet ammo! Review by professorcbt

Use this for practice in my Glock 19 and never jams! A little dirty at time, but still great to shoot!! And the price can't be beat! (Posted on 12/6/11)Performance Value Quality - junk Review by crazydog
-
For all you cheap shooters this stuff is totally substandard..The casings bulge, miss fires and takes a hammer to make it discharge. tried the ammo in a Springfield XDm , Desert eagle and Glock in 40 cal and 9mm.. Best results were in the Glock and ammo still bulged the casing . Take your chances , I for one of three people shooting this stuff agree unanimously this is a NO go.

-
I put 50 rounds thru my Glock 26 with no FTE, FTF, or jams! For the money, the best ammo I've shot! I've also heard that it's a dirty ammo and the steel casings cause problems, but I haven't seen it! I've shot Winchester, UMC, and Federal and my gun was just as clean shooting the Tulas! Of course, I clean my gun after every trip to the range. Will definetly use this ammo again!

LG delievered as promised but maybe I should have done my research better.Performance Value Quality
ISYN, this 9mm from Tula fouled the firing pin in my BAND NEW Taurus 809 to the point of failure in only 28 ROUNDS! That's less than 2 full mags.
Seriously, the chamber was coal black.
Spend a couple more cents for the CCI or be prepared to clean your weapon after each magazine. (Posted on 9/11/11) - perfect Review by Anthony USMC

Bought large amounts and went thru more than a 1000 rounds and not once a problem with my M9 ( Beretta ). And also have a tarus pt.145 n i entrust tula for all my guns.

-
I've run this through a Ruger LC9, P95, & SR9 and really only had one FTF out of several hundred rounds. For target practice, why spend more. Some say it's dirty but I clean'em after every trip to the range anyway. However, i was standing next to a guy who was shooting the same stuff who had at least a 1:10 FTE. If it works...... (Posted on 7/29/11)Quality Performance Value - Great but Odd Review by NCBBA5757

This ammo worked very well in my Taurus PT99, 3" groups at 25 yds. No feeding or ejection problems. Odd in that out of 50 rounds 7 failed to fire on the first attempt. Pull the trigger back again and all fired on the second try? Weird but accurate and cheap!

I've put about 350 rounds down range and have not had a problem. Read reviews about how steel shoot dirty but haven't really noticed much of a different.

Best overall value I could find so far.Performance Value Quality
No misfires, No FTFs, and is not as dirty as previously believed, I have shot dirtier more expensive ammo before.
(Posted on 2/28/11) - Good value for range! Review by Matt
-
I bought three 50 count boxes and tried them out at the range. They seemed to fire ok. I had 1 FTE in 150 rounds. The ammo seemed a little dirty. But since I clean my gun weather I fire 15 rounds or 150 rounds that doesn't really matter to me. Other then the 1 failure to eject I had no feed failures and encountered no other problems. While I will continue to use this dirty cheap ammo for the range. I would not use it for carry ammo with the one failure to eject.
