Tula Ammo .40 SW

[calebp]

Hello,
I was at walmart today picking up some .40 sw and saw that they had tula ammo for several dollars cheaper than even the winchester white box. Was wondering if anybody had any experience with this brand, specifically through glocks. I have a g27 and could do a little more shooting if i were to switch to this brand.
Thanks guys,
Caleb

I've shot some of their 9mm and 45acp no problems.

I use it all the time in my AR. Never had any problems.

I know several ranges won't allow it...the bullets are copper jacketed steel and cause sparks when they are fired at indoor ranges. I didn't like it because it was a very dirty load, really mucks up the works.

I've shot them thru my G22. No problems... no fail to feeds.

I have shot a couple of varieties of Tula and never had a problem with it. I don't think that the bullets are copper covered steel (I may be wrong but I don't think so) but the casings are lacquered steel rather than brass. That may be the cause of sparks, it's harder on your ejector, etc and the cases can't be reloaded. But for once through shooting I've not had an issue with them.

Awesome, thanks guys, picked up a box to try, will post results after I shoot it.

only thing I noticed are hard primers... out of 200 rounds of 9mm I had two fail to fires on the first strike with both my sig 226 and my keltec pf9. Second strike did the trick.

so should have posted this a tad earlier but, 3 boxes absolutely zero problems, definitely a little dirtier than some but at a savings of about 4 dollars a box for .40 ill take it, as accurate as just about anything else through the 27, thumbs up from me

great ammo for the price. They are polymer coated in steel casings
