This newly manufactured 223 Remington ammunition is PERFECT for target practice, range training, or plinking. It is both economical and reliable and is produced by one of the most established ammunition plants in the world.

Tula ammunition derives its name from its birthplace, the Tula Cartridge Works in Tula, Russia.

The Tula Cartridge Works plant was founded in 1880 and is currently one of the largest ammunition manufacturing plants in the world. The Tula name has gained a following worldwide for its rugged, reliable, and economical product. This cartridge complies with CIP requirements and the casing features a polymer-coated steel casing. The projectile features a bimetal jacket (contains steel and copper) and a lead core resulting in excellent ballistics characteristics.

This ammunition is rugged like the country where it was manufactured and keeps its qualities under temperatures ranging from -4 degrees Fahrenheit to 122 degrees Fahrenheit ensuring that it will perform when needed most.

Transcript

Russia, a land of bears, submarines defecting to the United States, and ammunition. 120 miles south of Moscow is an administrative region called Tula. Inside this region is a city called Tula. Inside this city is a factory named Tula. Not very imaginative, but maybe that's because they've been busy making lots of ammo.

The Tula factory has been in operation since 1880 and made weapons and ammunition for the Russian military for decades. In fact, it's one of the largest ammo factories in the world. I shot a lot of Tula 223 ammo recently and learned a lot about it in doing so.

One of the first things you need to know about Tula, especially when shooting it through an AR-15, is that it's not intended for use in mil-spec rifles. If your AR has a smaller gas port, that is, if it's a Colt, Bravo Company, Daniel Defense, Bushmaster or similar; then Tula is probably not for you. However, if your rifle has a larger gas port, you can use Tula with very few functional problems. In fact, you could shoot it for thousands of rounds without cleaning. And as long as your firearm is well-lubricated, you will function just fine.

If you're not sure whether Tula will work in your rifle, buy a few boxes and shoot one round at a time with an empty magazine inserted. If the bolt locks back to the rear every time, it should be reliable in your firearm.

The bi-metal jacketed bullet used in Tula ammo will wear a rifle barrel faster than a standard copper jacketed bullet. But the reduced cost of Tula ammo means that over time, you'll still save money even with the added cost of barrel replacements every 6,000 to 10,000 rounds.

When it comes accuracy and velocity, Tula is about average. This is quite good considering that it's one of the most affordable brands on the market. If you haven't tried Tula before and are looking to shoot more and spend less, try their ammo. You might find that it's the perfect answer to your needs.

Bought 1000 rnds of this .223 steel case and I shot about 475 through the palmetto I put together. Ran amazing not a single jam. Bullets looked nice and neatly packed. Dirty but awesome for breaking a gun in or if you’re on a budget.

For the price, this is really solid ammo. My twin 13 year-old boys had no problems shooting tight groups at 100 yds with a 2x red dot through their AR-15s. Cleaning the weapons was easy compared with some other "dirtier" low-cost ammo we have recently shot.

I’ve always heard not to shoot steel that it would wear down the gun jam stovepipe fte and So on. Then I met 78-year-old gentleman at the range who was there for about four hours shooting nonstop. He told me he has been shooting steel case for decades with no issues as long as you lube the firearm properly with quality oil. after will over 10,000 rounds with no real issues to speak of I’m a believer and For the money you save and by the time it’s needed you’ll be way ahead of the game should you have to ”replace“ anything on your firearm

The steel just doesn't seem to be slick enough to feed into the chamber. Every other round gets jammed or just stays in the mag. I thought maybe it was the mag but I used brand new pmags and had the same results.

I bought the 1000 rounds because all of my buddies run these in their ar's and they run perfectly fine, so I figured why not. Well my brand new ar wouldn't run more than 5 rounds in a row without problems. It would either not feed properly or wouldn't eject the round. It was super frustrating and a big disappointment. I then run 50 rounds back to back of fiocchi through it and the gun loved it. Buying these rounds is definitely a gamble

I’ve shot thousands of rounds between a few different rifles. One barrel didn’t last past 6k rounds. I eventually built a rifle specifically for shooting steel, and the only issue I came across happened once with a FTE and that was because I ran it dry to test the rifle’s limit. After that I oil up every 200 rds or so and have not had that issue again. Test a box before you buy to see if your rifle likes it or not. If it does, oil up and shoot!! Accuracy isn’t phenomenal, but I’ve been able to get 2-3” moa at 200 yards with a red dot. Good enough for me. Definitely clean your rifle after range session, it’s a little dirty, but not horrible. Overall I like this for target shooting, especially for bulk ammunition it’s cost effective. I’m currently at 8k rounds with a barrel I’m testing for life expectancy and have been able to buy half a dozen others with money saved, so that’s a plus.

Yup, the very first round I fired was a dead round. But after that one, I fired 599 more with no issues whatsoever. It is a dirty round and your AR will require cleaning but who here does NOT clean their AR after taking it to the range?! I have 400 more rounds to go through but rest assured I'll be ordering more of this brand. Would I use it in combat? Probably not. But for plinking at the range, absolutely!

I've shot close to 5000 rounds of this stuff over the course of several years. Only ONE malfunction can be attributed to the ammo. I shoot an FN15 and a custom built rifle and they both eat right through it. If you have issues, run the gun wet, Use CLP to clean your BCG regularly. Its dirty ammo but for the price, its worth it. If your gun can't cycle steel ammo, it's your guns fault and you should sell it and buy one that can. More ammo = more practice and range time!

by 1tuffcop on 1/17/2018
I'm not a fan of steel cased cartridges. But my opinion should be kept to myself for my personal reasons. With that being said Tula is the only ammo that has not fed properly in my M&P AR-15. The problem I experienced was jamming in the magazine as the cartridges were feeding into the chamber. I noticed Tula cartridges are slightly longer than the other manufacturers I use. I'm not sure if that could have been a part of the problem. I do not like malfunctions. Because Tula malfunctioned twice in my rifle and no other brand has, I'm giving it a "not in my rifle" review. It would be nice to see other ammo manufacturers meet their price.

Since one of my local outdoor stores had a sale on several inexpensive brands of 223 ammo me and a friend decided to do a side-by-side test of them. We simply compared group size for 10 shot groups at 100 yards. This Tula 55 FMJ placed second among the 6 brands of ammo we tested. Also, after firing about 300 rounds of this ammo I had no failures of any type.

by pewman on 5/20/2017
so i went to the range today to zero a new 4 power optic for 100 yards. my rifle just plain wouldn't zero with this ammunition. BUT NOT FOR THE REASON YOU THINK: while my optic did not zero, it was due to a loose bracket i found out when i was done for the day.

here's the thing: i was going through both tulammo and brass interchangeably with my ar15. there were moments i honestly couldn't tell the difference until i saw the assorted cases on the ground.

this ammo will work fine in your gun if you take care of it and keep it clean and lubed as you are supposed to.

also about the rumor of case polymer melting against the inside of the barrel and causing problems: i was producing a mirage from the heat coming off my barrel today with rounds chambered, made zero difference. shot it all day long. everything was fine.

tulammo is fine. take care of your guns, and it'll be fine.

I've now gone through between 800-1000 Rds in EACH of my 3 AR's, and have had ZERO issues with this round. The only significant downside I can see the them is their inability to be reloaded.
I get 2 moa consistent groupings with iron sights at 100yds, and considering I'm NOT shooting competitively, I'm more than happy with that. I also clean my weapons after every outing so any complaints regarding them running "dirty" sounds rather diva-ish IMO.
If you need a cost effective round for plinking or shtf, and are on a budget like the rest of the real world, I'd look no further.

It's not great ammo, but it's not terrible, either. It's definitely worth if for the price you pay. The case is steel, not brass, so it doesn't expand to seal the breech like brass does. This lack of sealing also causes a lot of the "stuck" cases in semi autos due to the gases and dirt blowing back and making the breech walls very dirty. The bullet itself is jacketed in mild steel, so it will cause faster degradation of your rifling, and many ranges will not allow steel jacketed ammo to be used. It's NOT steel core. And though it's a mild/soft steel, it is still nearly four times harder than standard copper jacketing. It has an outside copper jacket, but the jacket is so thin it really doesn't provide much of a buffer between your rifling and the steel jacketing. It's so thin that the only protection is really offers is corrosion protection for the steel jacketing.

But, with the exception of those drawbacks, it's still a decent ammo. It's very inexpensive and it's fairly accurate. The velocity is pretty even. Overall, if you keep your rifle clean, you should enjoy this ammo very much. For an afternoon of inexpensive target practice and having fun, you can't beat it.

As always lucky gunner came through to provide for a shoot. Product was here very quickly. My half wit delivery man leave my packages outside of my building on the sidewalk, I always get the double box option from lucky gunner and it's free! So far that has been sufficient to prevent loss. I love lucky gunner and will continue ordering. As far as the ammo goes... It's Tula steel cased. You get what you pay for. I had no malfunctions, the only reason to spend more money on higher quality ammo to plink with is to shrink your groups. Group size aside, quality stuff.

Nearly everyone comments that this ammo leaves lots of dirty carbon residue. They are right. It takes longer to get the final, clean pad through the barrel after shooting Tulas, but the price makes up for the effort. Performance isn't perfect with 223 rounds. I seem to get a jam around 300 to 400 rounds with Tula, but recovery isn't complicated. For recreational shooting on weekends, Tula is okay. (Respective Tula cartriges work about the same in a 1911 acp and a 9mm, except I've never had a jam at all in about 2000 rounds with pistols.) Spend over a buck per round when you're practicing and shooting for serious match competition. Save a little when you're not.

Been using Wolf/Tula for years. A lot of the cheaper R's won't fire it. Some that will are Colt, Daniel Defense, and BCM. Some that won't are DPMS, Vulcan, and Blackthorne. I was firing some last week, and a guy at the table next to me was firing Tula as well on his DPMS, and he basically had a bolt action rifle. I currently have a Dragon's Tail built AR, and it will fire any ammo you run through it, to include the Russian Steel. Overall, Tula is a good ammo to use for plinking or target practice, unless your AR is a picky eater.

first 30 rounds ran through fine. started 2nd 30 rounds and had failure to eject (FTE). ran rod through to get case out. reseated mag, (PMAG G2 30rds) fed in round, fired, FTE. this happened 4 times before i quit. all rounds that FTE had the steel edge the extractor grabs sheared off on the inside of the lip. I tried several brass rounds to make sure the bolt extractor was not the issue. They ejected as expected. I wanted this ammo for range / practice use only, but expected it to preform better than this.

for contrast, i fed my SKS 260 rds of 7.62x39 Tula with zero FTE.

I gave the 4 stars in performance as reference to the pattern made at 100yards with the rounds that did work. Nice torso grouping for them.

We hit I orange clay used for trap shooting we pick up the ones off the ground that are not broke or 1 half but hit 1 and then you have 4 small ones hit them no problem and my girl got back from IRACK war and she is a great marksmen in the army and was best female shooter with M-16 and all other types but she was hitting 1 inch peace 90 meters away 8 times no miss I cant hit good with the SS and she said Dad I love this more then my Gun when I was over or in the army. The ammo is great so far and after we shot 500 rounds we got home and cleaned them and the bores and action were not dirty at all. I could not be leave how clean they were but I did notice the punch was not like the old man reloads we use to get a 5 foot flame out the end in sun light even. keep up the good work and prices just so happy for are hobby and long storage locked up in huge safe with a small safe inside 4 ammo.

After testing a thousand rounds or so, I really haven't had any problems other than the filthy burnt powder residue. Even corroded steel bolt parts in a matter of days turned rusty and caked on powder that wasn't at all present with other brands. I know my rifles and have used them for years, this ammo will require you to immediately thoroughly clean and oil and you shouldn't have a problem. If you don't clean after using this ammo, expect problems.

I got 1000 rounds before the ammo famine.
That said, mine isn't subjected to much in the way of atmospheric/humidity changes, so I can't speak to that. But it feeds great for casual, backyard shooting in my black rifle (not an AR), and doesn't seem any dirtier than other cheap, steel-cased ammo. Never had an FTF or FTE with it (again, not an AR).
Performance is ok. I'm no marksman, but I can tell a significant difference in group sizes between Tula and American Eagle .223AR (big surprise). The group size is 50%-100% larger with the Tula, but we don't buy Tula for sniping, now do we?
All in all, it's been great for me, and (at the price I originally purchased it at) it allows me to actually shoot a bit without seeing the dollars fly out of my ejection port.

Russian Steel case ammo is a great value for plinking. It stores well, it is reliable, and of course, cheaper than brass. I have never had an issue with it.

by D E Davis on 12/14/2012
I've purchased Tula ammo prior to this, and never had a single misfeed, or, misfire! And, I've shot thousands of rounds of it. A problem most seem to have with FTF with any ammo, is the magazine they're using. The feed lips might be a bit too tight, thus pinching the cases when trying to strip a round to feed. This is steel cased ammo, so it's not going to gouge the cases slightly and feed anyway. It will gall/ bind. Also, the laquer on the steel cases will bind on some mags. So, before blaming the ammunition, if problems with feeding occur, try a different magazine first to verify where they problem truly lies.

Anyway, GREAT value and product. I WILL buy more again, SOON!

I use for plinking. Bushmaster of mine and a friends would not strip off mags. I use it in my SW MP15 with no issues whatsoever. Accuracy not an issue with what I am doing at closer ranges- 50/100yds.

Over all I love this stuff cheep and when you are putting in 100 rounds in your Beta C and just rocking well you can't do much better unless you reload it yourself. It does get messy especially with a suppressor so I would upgrade if you want to go quiet, but if you want to make a lot of noise and not spend a fortune get ya a case!

I bought this for plinking with my AR, it works fine but it is very dirty and you have to pace yourself to prevent the casings from overheating and getting stuck in the chamber. Definitely wont work in a bolt action!!! i tried running it through my remington 700 and the casing got stuck every time, and i ended up breaking the extractor pin. Overall great value, alright in semi-autos and dont recommend or bolt action at all.

I thought I was being smart and ordering 500 rounds for my Stag Model 8.
Tulammo rounds won't work with it.
They won't feed, won't strip off the magazine, then when the gun heats up - it won't eject.
I think the lacquer finish is just a little sticky - Perhaps with a DI AR, or a mini14.
REGARDLESS - try a couple boxes before you waste good money on ammo you can't use!

I will not nor recommend anyone run this in a gas impingement system but I have since talked to others that run a gas rod system that does not heat up the chamber and this ammo works great.

It does burn hot, so if you have a weapon that you really cherish, this ammo is not for you. I used it in my mini 14, that, I bought back in 1978. It worked just fine. The steel casings make it easy to use a magnet to clean up the ground when done shooting. I would buy more if it was a touch less$. If it goes on sale for 15 cents a round I would buy more, lots more. At 20 cents a round it is a good plinking round. BUT 5 rounds is a dollar, so I am holding off .223 and shooting .22LR for now. Lucky Gunner ships fast and they seem to be good people to do business with. The website is organized and easy to navigate. I will buy from Lucky Gunner in the future, most likely 9mm ammo, if I buy a 9mm weapon.

I originally bought this for a gunfighting class. Great value, but it ends there. This is not ammo you want to run in an gas impingement AR platform because it is coated and when it gets hot it will cause the cartridge to get stuck to the chamber. If your using to for plinking, it's OK. As long as you getting sighted in or target practice, etc. But to use it for drills of 100 rounds or more it will not work. It gave me a good opportunity to practice my failure drills. But it also took me off the range twice to extract stuck cases.

Bought 1000 rounds for my Slide Fire AR15 with DPMS 5.56 barrel. It only cycled a few rounds through until one was stuck in the chamber and would not extract. Had to hammer back the bolt to get the round out. Tried again and it cycled through a hundred rounds until this happened again. Will not buy this ammo again for my AR15.

I have a entirely different opinion of this ammo. Great value...shoots great...accurate...but, very dirty. After about 100 rounds...will not feed....jams. Have to clean my AR-15 constantly. I have purchased two thousand rounds. But, even with this problem...I will still purchase because of value. Maybe my Nato spec carbine causes this. Lucky Gunner does have great customer service and I definetly recommend them.

Q: Any experience on how this shoots through a 1:7” bbl?

Posted On: 11/8/2021 By: Alex Davis

A: Thanks for reaching out Alex! I haven't tested this ammo in a 1:7 barrel myself, but that's too fast a twist to optimally stabilize a 55 grain bullet. You'll can still get decent mid- to close-range accuracy with this ammo, no question about it, and you wouldn't want steel-cased ammo for match shooting anyway – still, it won't be quite as good as if you'd fired this ammo through a 1:9 barrel. I'd say you should be all right with this ammo if you're just doing some plinking and casual target shooting!

Q: Are these Wolf and Tula ammo from Russia or China?

Posted On: 11/1/2021 By: Tom Fogarty

A: Thanks for reaching out Tom! Wolf Gold ammo comes from Taiwan, and Wolf Target 22 LR ammo comes from England or Germany. Aside from those exceptions, Wolf and Tula ammo always come from Russia.

Q: Cost for 223 rounds, 55grain, 200 count, full metal jacket!

Posted On: 3/2/2021 By: Michael

A: Thanks for reaching out Michael! We'll update this ammo's price tag as soon as we get more in stock.

Q: Do you ship to Washington State? How much is the shipping charge for 1000 rnds of .223?

Posted On: 3/15/2020 By: Scott

A: Lucky Gunner does not ship to Alaska, Hawaii, California, Massachusetts, Chicago, or New York City. We do ship to Washington state, however! You can review our shipping fee on the checkout page before confirming your order.

Q: Do you ship to calif. thanks

Posted On: 8/12/2019 By: Cecilio M. Di Gino

A: Hi Cecilio! Thank you for looking to LuckyGunner.com for your ammo. I am sorry, but due to the new, restrictive laws recently enacted in CA, we can no longer ship to anyone in that state. Unfortunately, this also means we cannot support our FFL dealers and LEOs. Hopefully at some time in the future this will change.

Q: Do you know if an M&P would have any problems cycling this ammo?

Posted On: 3/31/2019 By: Chris

A: They will fire through an AR-15 chambered for 5.56/.223. Steel can be a bit finicky once it starts to heat up, but it can be on a rifle by rifle basis. I suggest ordering a small quantity first, testing it, then decide if you want to buy bulk.

Q: Hello is this Ammo corrosive since it’s a steel case round

Posted On: 3/29/2019 By: Austin

A: Hi Austin, the Tula is a non-corrosive rounds. A clean round at a great price!

Q: Does the case have any kind of coating on it such as lacquer, polymer, or zinc?

Posted On: 2/12/2019 By: Cody

A: Tula ammo has been using a zinc wash on their ammo for quite a few years now. it is worth noting that this ammo will still attract a magnet and many indoor ranges will not allow it.

Q: Are these made in the USA ?

Posted On: 12/2/2018 By: Donna

A: Thank you for reaching out with a great question! The ammo manufacturer is called Tula Cartridge Works and they are based out of Moscow, Russia.

Q: The projectile on this round. are they copper, brass or steel? thank you

Posted On: 1/10/2017 By: dennis

A: Hello Dennis, This ammunition is loaded with a lead core, bi-metal jacketed projectile. The bi-metal jacket does contain steel and will not pass any type of magnet test.

Q: will this ammo attract a magnet? The range I use will not allow ammo that attracts a magnet.

Posted On: 9/22/2015 By: Matt

A: Hello Matt! This Tula ammunition is loaded with a bi-metal jacketed bullet. Unfortunately it would not pass any type of magnet test.
