Customer Reviews - Tula Cartridge Works Ammunition
Tula Cartridge Works ammunition is widely regarded as very affordable and suitable for range and high-volume practice use, with many reviewers praising its overall value for money. Numerous users report reliable cycling and feeding, especially in AKs, ARs, Glocks, and other semi-automatics, with very few failures across thousands of rounds. However, a significant number of buyers mention that Tula runs dirty, requiring more frequent cleaning than premium brands. Opinions on accuracy are mixed but often described as acceptable or good for plinking and general target shooting. Common criticisms include frequent extraction problems, swelling, and stuck cases in revolvers—especially .38 Special and .357 Magnum—which some deem unsafe or unusable for these firearms. Instances of inconsistent ignition, stuck cases, and occasional duds are cited but are less frequent in semi-automatics. Overall, performance can be firearm-dependent.
I have shot Tula for years. Their ammo continues to get better as does the ammo industry overall. This is not ammo for hunting or when great expansion is needed but it shoots well and is very reliable. As far as it being dirty, yeah my gun is dirty after shooting 250-500 rounds of any ammo. Dirty is dirty so I don't get the argument. If you gun can not shoot this or 'tolerate', you need a better gun.
First of all, want to say that ordering on lucky gunner was easy and quick.
Ordered on Sun and Received my package on Thu. It was great and also the cheapest price around for this specific ammo including shipping and tax.
Well, about ammo. I was looking for cheap range ammo for practice and need Tulammo is the cheapest. I read some reviews about performance, metal case, accuracy, dirt after this ammo and was kinda not sure, but decided to give it a chance.
So, 200 shots in a row from Glock 19: 0 FTF, 1 FTE. Did around 50 shots using 1911 replica and 0 FTF and 0 FTE.
Accuracy: this ammo is more accurate than me. Has 0 issues. was able to hit everything I wanted. I do not see difference.
Dirtiness, to be honest it looks actually cleaner than after other ammo. Well, I am cleaning my gun after every time I shot it. So, really no difference.
Overall,
Tulammo is cheapest and as long as it is cheapest it is my choice for range practice.
Will I prefer something else for same price? Maybe really depends on other options, but Tulammo is just good cheap ammo what I will order again with no questions.
Top 5 customer reviews
for Tula Cartridge Works Ammunition
Tula steel cases are harder than brass and may cause marginally more wear on extractors over extremely high round counts. The bi-metal jacketed bullets may also wear barrels slightly faster than copper-jacketed ammunition. However, for most shooters, the cost savings far outweigh the minimal additional wear. Many firearms have fired tens of thousands of Tula rounds without issues.
Why do some ranges ban Tula ammunition?
Many ranges ban steel-cased and bi-metal jacketed ammunition for two reasons: steel cases can damage steel backstops, and bi-metal jackets can cause sparks that create fire hazards in indoor facilities. Ranges typically test with a magnet—if the bullet or case attracts a magnet, it's prohibited.
Is Tula ammunition still available in the US?
Availability has been significantly affected by US sanctions on Russian ammunition imports. Existing inventory continues to be sold, but new imports are restricted. Prices have risen and availability varies. Check current stock levels with retailers, as the situation is subject to change.
