Local wal-mart has a shitload of this for $7.76 a box. Is that 'get a few boxes' price or 'clear them out' price?

Or is it just trash?
>>
>>34594683
Literally trash.
~50% FTF

>>34594683
thats slightly cheaper than normal but not buy out everything price. if you want tula buy it if you dont its okay to pass.

Its always that price. Works well in my sig.

>>34594683
If you want to plink it's good enough
>>
>>34594683
Neither. It's "buy a couple/few if you want to go plinking with cheap 9mm soon, or buy some brass if you want to go a little easier on your extractor and have a little better ammo."

If you don't have a few boxes of 9mm stockpiled and this is the best you can afford, go for it and buy $50 worth. Then get a job and start doing better, anon.

I usually buy their 7.62x39mm ammo since it's is so damn cheap. It's like $10 for 40 rds. I usually don't have a problem shooting with them. But yeah the others are saying, just buy a few boxes and see if you like it. If not, just simply move on.

If you shoot tul, just shoot yourself. Honestly you stupid fucks that keep buying this are the reason there's so much of it out there. If you'd just boycott it in favor of better ammo, it'd force them to actually offer a brass at a better price point.

Tula 9mm is the worst 9mm I've ever fired. Weak, dirty, and at least 1 dud a box.

Spend the extra $1-2 for AL cased ammo or brass.
>>
>>34594683

Depends on taxes and how badly you need them. You can wait for online deals and find better prices in huge bulk well after shipping (occasionally free making the rounds a better deal alone). For instant gratification it's a pretty good price.

>>34594712

Different guns sometimes even the same models like different gun food, yours doesn't like it. I shoot Tula almost exclusively through a g19, g34, and BHP without issues. I've ran them through friend's 92fs, px4, and g26 no problem either but they wouldn't work in a highpoint. Maybe you shouldn't have cheaped out on a shit gun and saved more in the long run with a nicer gun that can eat cheap bullets.

This

Everytime I buy ammo from Wal Mart there's always a guy pushing this shit.
"Well we only got a few boxes of [x] but we have tons of TulAmmo! Ever heard of it?"

I normally laugh when they bring it up and then they hit me with "That's what everyone normally does. Is this stuff really that bad?"

TulAmmo of all kinds is generally regarded as the low of the low.

$8 a box is by no means a deal.
>>
>>34594845

>>34594869

No. I've actually never got 9mm with a dud a box and I've gotten cheaper sketchier stuff than Tula.

OP could buy it and flip it. My local Wal-Mart plays out like this

>sold out of Remington 9mm
>sold out of Winchester brass 9mm
>Perfecta 9mm, brass 115gr, $12.50~
>Tulsa 9mm, steel 115gr, $12.00
>Buy Winchester FORGED 9MM 115gr, 150rnds for $27


They are charging less than a dollar for steel which is horseshit. Federal aluminum usually is cheaper than both but sells out fast. But my big question is WHO THE FUCK STILL BUYS AMMO IN STORE? Must suck not having a computer.
>>
>>34594953
Anyone who is intelligent enough to know to use armslist is probably also smart enough to not buy that shit.
>>
>>34594944

Bad example, the quantities are reversed and this is target ammunition, no one's life is in danger. If he went through 1 box without issues and you went through many and found issues your example would work. I've gone through probably 5k rounds of just Tula 9mm in the past 5 months, more from other brands and haven't had a single FTF but a few FTE since I don't clean as often as I should. With the quantities I'm dealing with you:

A) are experiencing light primer strikes. Try a different gun.
B) had a single bad 50 round box I'm yet to encounter. It's possible and would be a massive turn off if I was buying self defense ammo.
C) are lying. Probably this.
>>
>>34594683
That's like 50 cents a box better than my last bulk buy of it. I say clear 'em out. It's not good ammo, but it's great plinking ammo.
>>
>>34594712
>~50% FTF
Don't listen to this faggot. I've shot maybe 2000 rounds between 9mm, 7.62x39, and .308 with not one ammo related failure.
>>
TulAmmo 5.56 actually groups really well in my mini 14. The issue is the ejection pattern tends to send the casing right back into my face while brass case like federal tends to go to the side. It also doesn't strip as easily from mags.
>>
>>34594823
Hahahahahaha. Look at the conjuncture based ad hominem tard and laugh.
Newsflash kiddo, if you don't like how capitalism and the free market works, go back to gulping Lenin's necrotic cock.
Fun fact: My 527 Carbine prefers Tula rounds (specifically hard primers) to brass. Fiochi, PMC and Winchester all gave me minimum 4 FTF per 20, while a round count of 1000 Tula and no FTF.

Aluminum cases ammo is far worse than steel you fucking idiot
>>
>>34594773
steel or steel coated in copper. Tula sells non-steel jackets in the US now because of range rules.

And steel/aluminum is not going to break your extractors unless you own a piece of shit or already have 10k rounds in it.

All the fanny fluster about Tulammo in this thread is ridiculous. I run Tulammo in my Glock 1911 AR an VZ58 and I've honestly never had an fte or ftf. At least 1k through each this year
>>
>>34594683
Depends on your use. Would i trust my life with it? not unless that's all i had. I run it thru my ruger 556 and it works pretty well, though I have had a like two FTFs.
It works for plinking if you want cheap range time, though I've read that it just wont feed into some people guns. Just buy a box and see how you like it.
>>
>>34594712
It's dirty plinky ammo, that's it. And it's damn good at being what it is. If you have guns that aren't cheap pieces of shit the stuff works great.

I was using tula for my mosin and I noticed the bolt seizing up until I had a case get stuck in the chamber but I was running it dryer then I am usually comfortable because I was too impatient before running to the range with so I am willing to give it another go before blaming the ammo. It eats through surplus like a dream.

>>34594748
>if you want to go a little easier on your extractor

myth. untreated steel is nearly as soft as brass or more soft depending on each individual case. just does not expand as well. cheap ammo in general, no matter if its steel case or brass usually has poor powder which is what you dont want running through your barrel in large amounts at a time.

New OEM Glock barrel & extractor $180 or less. If you shoot between 45-90 boxes without a catastrophic failure it's paid for itself. Just do like a normal person, shoot steel at range and pick up others brass for reloading.
>>
>>34595241
you can still order ammo in California, until the law takes affect

>>34594683
Ive shot probably around 1500 9mm Tula, 1000 45 Tula, 3-3500 223 Tula, 200 308 Tula, and I've only had two issues. First was in a m&p2 ar, case wouldn't extract, although I hadn't cleaned it in a while and it was like 110 outside. Second was in a Spanish Mauser rechambered in 308, full case-head separation, still have around 50 rounds I plan on shooting, maybe after I check headspace.

>>34595343
Both Blazer and Federal load their Aluminum ammo with the same bullets, powder, and primers.

>>34594788

>>34594869
Federal aluminium ast Wal-Mart is cheaper than steel case Tula
>>
>>34594683
Hmmm
What should I get?
Some shitty non reloadable low powered steel cased ammo for 17.1 cents a round or some reliable +p reloadable bras cases sellier and bellot EU contract ammo for 19.9 cents a round?
>>
>>34594683
I shot 200 rounds of their .223 yesterday. Had one malfunction, failure to extract. Casing on the chambered bullet got a nice dent in it. Other than that no issues, and it was like $4.50 for a box of 20.

Wally World employee here.

It's on rollback. It'll go back up to full price sooner or later, just like the Tula .223

Tula is fine, but not great. Are you just going out to blast a few rounds? Is your gun not a cheap piece of shit? You'll do fine.

>>34594789
like that matters when you> going to range

>>34597446
Would have to agree bit there is use for it like if you are loading +P for carbines or desire to work up a load that has the exact characteristics as your carry ammo.

Or if you already have a high volume reloading machine and buy everything in bulk.

Why? Tula is cheap and sorta the da facto default for 7.62. Its dirty but you should clean you guns anyway, and what ammo Is not dirty? Its perfect for plinking outdoors or a range trip where that extra accuracy from fancy ammo is not necessary. If your gun can't eat tula without hurting itself, then its the guns fault.

>>
>>34596158
You're (mostly) right. No question brass causes less wear and tear on the extractor, but whether it's significant wear and tear seems completely unproven except through anecdotal evidence. If it were identically priced, I'd go with brass. At significantly (there's that word again) cheaper prices, I'd go with steel.

Not sure that I'd care much about "dirty powder." I clean my guns when they need it. And although I don't usually shoot steel, I got a shit ton of steel 5.56 from a friend and ran it through two AR's over a few months' time without a hiccup. Moderately dirtier, and with direct impingement that can be a problem if the gun isn't cleaned after a LOT of rounds, I suppose, but it didn't rustle my jimmies.

It will not break your gun by individual bullets, it will wear it down faster. Your rifle might last a few thousand rounds less because you saved a penny per round. That and Ive literally had Tula fucking explode on me, but keep justing your jewishness, poorfag

He's talking about the study comparing steel case to brass case ammo. The cases aren't going to damage anything, but steel case is often paired with bimetal jackets that *will* wear your barrel down faster than softer jackets. But you don't see the difference until literally tens of thousands of rounds later where the money saved per round from buying steel-case crap more than pays for the cost of a new barrel. It's fudd science.
