Details
If you need a super cheap range round, then this is a great option for you.
This 55 grain full metal jacket ammunition is manufactured by the Russian company, Tula. What makes this ammunition so affordable is its Berdan primed steel case. This steel casing is not reloadable, but is has proven reliability in AR platform rifles, so no need to worry about sticking cases or failures to fire.
These rounds may also have a zinc plated bullet instead of a copper plated bullet. Tula started using Zinc instead of copper to save additional money, but also because zinc is a soft metal and is supposed to cause less wear on your barrel during high volume firing.

Shot 120 rounds last weekend. After 400 rounds in previous weeks of brass American Federal.. Not as dirty as I expected. Shot well no issues. Was consistent at 50 yrs and 100. Will buy again. Only disappointment. Where I shoot at a buddies house. He can’t reload it. In these trying times. While it still high in my opinion price wise. For these current times. I want to keep shooting. This works. (Posted on 12/9/2020)

Anyone who is still on this "steel ammo is bad your gun" belief needs to chill. ive put a few thousand rounds through a budget AR this summer, many ordered from this website, and my rifle still shoots true and has had no issues in feeding, chambering, extracting or ejecting. keep you gun clean and lubed and dont be afraid of steel. if it wont shoot steel, it doesnt deserve brass (Posted on 11/24/2020)

I really don’t have any complaints about this ammo. Zeroed in a red dot at 25yrds with it. Put 250 rounds through my M&P Sport II without a single malfunction. Cleaned my gun before I went, made sure was it wet and cleaned well afterwards. Ordered a 1000 rounds the first time and just ordered another 500. (Posted on 10/12/2020)

Just be aware the powder in this ammo is a little weak for stock springs. Ammo for the price but make sure your AR is well lubricated and the spring is light (Posted on 10/7/2020)

Tula has been cleanest running, most dependable of the big 3 Russian ammo's. I have run it trough my mini14, SR5.56 and a new Tavor with zero problems. I won't touch Wolf anymore, that is some filthy stuff. (Posted on 11/16/2013)

I've shot several thousand rounds of this ammo with a Stag Arms AR. No problems with operation or accuracy... Yeah, it's not match ammo... and it makes cleaning your AR more of a chore... but if you're not independantly wealthy, it allows you to get more range time for yer buck. (Posted on 11/4/2012)

I fired 1000 rounds over 5 days teaching a firearms class with a brand new Stag-AR15 and never had one jam or misfire. I did not clean the rifle until the class was over and had no problems cleaning it. For the money can't beat it. As for the steel casing don't leave out over night. (Posted on 7/17/2012)

Q: Range friendly: non magnetic bullet?
Posted On: 1/1/2021 By: Rex Gilmore
A: Magnetic bullet, I'm afraid! Tula's bimetal bullet jacket contains steel. I'd recommend Federal American Eagle to you if you're looking for range-friendly nonmagnetic 223 ammo: bulkammo.com/bulk-223-ammo-223rem55fmjae223blae-100
Q: Can i purchase 500 rounds of .223 ammo
