Wow, look at the reviews...20/47 give it one star! 22/47 give it 4 or 5 stars. Looks like a toss-up

 

I've been shooting this ammo regularly for the last few months, it's great for the price. It's not match quality, but it's good enough.

 

Nice, they have 7.62x39 for the same 4.99 price.

 

Anybody local to Angier/Raleigh/Fayetteville want to split a 1000 of either,,,,I wont have my money until the weekend.

 

I purchased quite a bit of this last Thanksgiving good plinking ammo

 

Just ordered a few boxes. Basically Walmart pricing, which is good. For those that don't know, this is just re-boxed Tulammo. I've had great luck with it so far after over 1.5k rounds or so. For the price it's hard to be. A hair over $30 for 100 rounds shipped.

 

Does anyone know of this is online only or can you buy from a store. I have a friend that lives close to a cabelas.

 

I read somewhere they would ship to any store free,,,,

 

My guns do not like steel cases. Had 3 boxes of Tulammo and would get jams every 2-3 rounds. Same rifles, same day with brass and not a single hiccup. *shrug* Very nice price.

 

I've heard a lot of bad things about Herter's and saw a guy have nothing but problems with it in his BM at an Apple Seed.

Found Tula at WM for $5.27 last week, grabbed my limit for the heck of it.

 

that was quick, all out of stock.

 

Tula and Herters is the same thing.

 

I've shot about 2000 rounds of these without any problems. My guns love steel cased ammo.

 

I don't reload so I love me some steel case,,,,,I will not own a weapon that wont shoot steel case

 

My DPMS eats it like candy. Never has a problem with it.

 

Steel case doesn't mess up or hard on the chamber/ barrel/ bolt? Or is the steel case mild steel?

Yes, it is mild steel.

The only issues they have as far as the cases go is that steel doesn't expand like brass so sometimes more carbon buildup forms in the chamber during firing. Sometimes this can cause shells to get stuck, especially if switching between steel and brass. A quick swab and scrub removes the buildup.

As far as the extractor goes, some say its harder on them...but considering you are spending $3-4 less on 20 of these than on cheap brass...after a few boxes the savings alone will pay for a few extractors.

The only hard evidence that I've seen that this stuff is worse for your firearms had more to do with the projectile. Often steel cased ammo has a mild steel core projectile washed in copper. I saw a study where this can lead to greater barrel erosion than using standard lead core. But those results were noted at over 10k rounds.

Do the math...

10k Tula/Herters : $3,000
10k average brass: $ 4,500-5,000

That $1.5-$2k you save can buy a few barrels...or a new rifle.

Some other issues are that some find it low on the power scale, so if your AR is sensitive to weaker ammo then performance may suffer.

 

All gone now.

 

This issues with steel case is not the hardness per se, but the rate of expansion and contraction, which is slower than brass. Therefore, it doesn't seal as fast, allowing carbon blow-by and buildup. It also doesn't contract as fast, so it doesn't release from the chamber as quickly. This is why it is hard on extractors. The gun is trying to pull the case out, but the case hasn't let go yet. This is especially true for shorter gas tube guns that already try to extract during peak pressure. In full size guns with the longer gas tubes, the extraction occurs after peak pressure.

 

Some other issues are that some find it low on the power scale, so if your AR is sensitive to weaker ammo then performance may suffer.

This sounds more like my problem. I was getting rounds stuck and suspect that I was in an undergassed situation.
