This newly manufactured 40 S&W 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 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.
Muzzle Velocity: 990 fps
Max Pressure: 36,250 psi

Video Transcript:
Independence Ammo comes from ATK, the same company who makes Speer, Federal, and Blazer ammunition. It's generally intended for economic range practice and features a brass case, non-corrosive primer, and a lead-core bullet with a full metal jacket.
We tested Independence 180 grain for the Smith and Wesson for this review. And looking at the technical specs, it's almost identical to the 180 grain Blazer Brass ammo. It's very possible that they're actually one and the same with just a different label. Blazer Brass is generally excellent range ammo, so Independence should also be a good choice.
We did have one failure to feed with ammo in our Sig P226, but none of our other test guns had any problems. Our 15-yard accuracy test from the bin produced pretty good results as well.
ATK has a very good track record for producing consistent, reliable ammo. And even though it may not be as common as some of their other brands, Independence is a solid performer as well.

Fired over 200 rounds through my Stoger without fail, even the kids with soft grip/limp wrist had no problems.Quality Performance Value
As a working class enthusiast with 4 kids I can only say, thanks for helping a Dad share some affordable Quality time with his kids. (Posted on 6/16/12) - Good value, good product, good service... Review by Zac

Not much else to say about these rounds. I've shot about 200 so far with my Glock 22 Gen 4 without any problems. I'm not the most high tech, scientific person either so I could really care less about weight of bullets, how straight they shoot etc etc... They are great for target practice and any other shooting in my opinion. They are extremely cheap and the shipping was VERY fast. LuckyGunner has my business from now on, that's for sure. THANKS!

This was my first order with LuckyGunner and I have to say I was impressed. I had spent half a day on Saturday searching the web and reading reviews on different providers of ammo. I settled on LuckyGunner because of their price, shipping policy and company background which was readily available online. I placed my order Saturday evening and my ammo arrived Wednesday morning. I had never used TulAmmo in my Glock prior this batch so by noon on Wednesday I was at the range burning through 100 rds with no FTF's, FTE's or misfires. After 100 rds the gun was no dirtier than with any other ammo I have shot. I will buy this ammo from LuckyGunner again. (Posted on 4/7/12)Performance Value Quality

SocomRaider said: "Wanted to try them out first. Ordered a couple boxes of hard to find ammo. I already have the product two days later and it as advertised. Very happy with my purchase and look forward to buying from this company again. I also like their straightforward inventory system. If it's not on their website, they don't have it! They also list how many of a particular item is left."
HardWired56 said: "Every order I place gets here in 3 days-the shipping is fast and cheap and the online availability of inventory is the best. I have bought the Lake City reman .45acp and .380-super happy with both rounds. Ok, then I buy several different types of .223/5.56 just to see how they shoot-all were as expected and good stuff. Finally I had to buy more .22longs. Got Federal, Federal Champions and Winchester. I bought 3 bricks of ammo for what I would pay for 2 around here (not counting wasted gas and time). I will order again - Great work folks!"
