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.
Muzzle Velocity: 3241 fps

Alex Belko
( Sat, 20 Apr 2013 06:14:21 +0000 ) : these were always considered cheap low grade rounds, selling them at 90c per round is crazy especially considering that they start to show up at their original price about 25c, I just saw them at 5.20$ per box.

I have used this Brand of Ammo for many years now and never have I had any type of problem. I have Four different types and brands of Rifles plus one Handgun. While not match grade, for plinking this is great Ammo. (Posted on 6/11/13)

Bought 5 boxes to try in Savage Axis. Out of 40 rounds, had 4 ftfs and 5 fail to eject. I had no problems like this with brass cased ammo. Accuracy not good. At 50 yrs. 10 shot group was 8". No more of this for my rifle.
This was not purchased thru lucky gunner, just my experience with this ammo.

I've used this stuff before in my Rockriver. It ate it up and spit it out with no problem. Yes its not match grade but when you see blue helmets coming it will get the job done. I would have given it better value but this stuff isn't as cheap a box any more. Thanks Lucky Gunner for the great service. (Posted on 4/3/13)

I bought 100 rounds of this and will never buy this ammo again. There was at least one bullet in each box that was recessed too far to shoot and had to be physically removed to continue firing. You get what you pay for and this is cheap. (Posted on 2/24/13)

I've shot tons of this stuff in my DPMS AP4, Mini 30, WASR 10, S&W M&P 15, and SKSs. Never had jams or misfires and the accuracy isn't bad at all. I have seen the new Mini 14 tactical have issues with it however, but they tend to like better grade ammo. For the price this stuff is the best deal out there. Try 20 rds and if it doesn't work well then your out 5-6 bucks...nothing to cry over. (Posted on 10/4/12)

The 223 Tula ammo went bang every time in my AK. Having said that, the Saiga will spit just about anything that's pushed into it ;) Not sure how accurate it is, as I shot it standing at melons about seven yards away. Tore up the melons just fine though ;-) (Posted on 7/7/12)

Nice ammo for just plinking. Using a Colt CAR A3 with 24" H Bar Elite. 556 barrel. At 100 yards I am getting 3 to 4" groups on 5 shots with full bench rest. I have been cleaning barrel every 5 shots with bore snake. Barrel has 1in 9 twist so I am going to try some 62 grain .556 and see how it prints. (Posted on 7/6/12)

I have not experienced any feed problems. My gun is a Colt CARA3 with a .556 barrel. Nice stuff to link with and so far I have had single hole shots at 200 yds with a bench rest.

Have 5k rds of Tulammo. Yes its dirty, yes its not that accurate, no you wont win any competitions with it. But if you want something that goes bang for cheap, this is it. No I wouldn't want to stand in front of it either. All I can say about jamming is make sure your chamber is C L E A N. Also 5.56 bbls handle it better than str8 .223 bbl I think. Its not the only ammo I buy but if that SHTF day arises....NO WORRIES (Posted on 6/8/12)

It all depends on your chanber specs , mil spec chambers are looser and they eat it like a fat kid with a candy bar. It won't eject in an NEF 223., because it is tighter. (Posted on 1/24/12)

The Gun: Spikes Tactical AR-15(ST-15)
Round Count: 150+
This ammo is not for picky guns. That needs to be said to start. Guns like the Ruger SR 5.56 and Mini-14 are great and need good ammo. The ST-15 uses an A2 gas system and runs anything. Tula fired perfectly and had good accuracy from what i could tell(i used iron sights). This ammo would be fine defensive ammo in a gun that could use it. I destroyed a 6in thick slab of concrete in twenty rounds so it hits hard. I recommend buying a small amount like 40 or so to make sure your gun can run it. Great ammo for a great price!

Jams up in AR-15's and Mini-14's about 1 round in 30. Wish I hadn't bought a bunch of this as my blastin' ammo. Will try to unload or may keep as emergency stock. Winchester white box isn't that much more at WallyMart. (Posted on 7/9/11)

This Ammo Jammed my AR-15 Review by Me In Space
Quality
Performance
Value
Please take my advice this ammo is not worth 1 cent a round. They also sell this ammo at Walmart. I have had HORRIBLE problems with Russian made ammo. This particular ammo caused my new Bushmaster AR-15 to jam up two times. Both times the bullets got lodged in the chamber. I took my gun to a gun smith the first time and he said he had heard about this ammo and its problems. He worked on the gun, cleaned it, filed down some parts. Then I tried it again with the same ammo and had the same problem. So I cleaned my gun and tried Federal brand - ZERO PROBLEMS - From what my gun smith told me Russian ammo is not made to the same specifications as US made ammo. (Posted on 6/16/11)

I bought 120 rounds for $ 25. Could not pass up that deal. This stuff ran great in my DTI 1/7 chrome lined M4. Accuacy was 1" to 1-1/4" @ 50 yards off bags. It exceeded my expectations for cheap ammo. As good as any of the the Bear (Brown Silvers or gold) & cleaner than Wolf. It is better for me than white box - since I don't have to pickup the brass!
