What is the fmj material

Hello Chris, Currently Tula is producing ammunition with a bi-metal jacket and a lead core. The bi-metal jacket is manufactured using either copper or zinc and steel. If your range requires ammunition to pass a magnet test to be used, this ammunition cannot be used due to the steel content in the jacket.

This .223 Remington ammunition from Russian manufacturer Tula is a cost-effective alternative to brass cased loads. These cartridges fire a 62 grain full metal jacket bullet; the bullet jacket is composed of copper and mild steel.

These cartridges are relatively inexpensive because they use steel cases, which are considerably less expensive than brass ones. The cases are polymer coated for improved cycling, a notable advantage for users of AR-15s and other semiautomatic rifles. Many indoor ranges prohibit ammo with steel components, so check before ordering if you're unsure about your range's policies.

These 1,000 round cases provide the best bulk savings for high volume shooters. This ammunition uses non-corrosive primers and is not reloadable.

I've run a couple hundred rounds through my PSA-15. Everyone always says, "Hope you like cleaning. That Russian crap is dirty." I found it just as good as any domestic, and definitely NOT any dirtier than Win or Rem. This deal comes up again, I'm jumping on it.

I’ve shot 1000s of rounds of cheap steel case ammo never had any issues with it, its a little dirtier but if you clean your guns that’s not an issue, great ammo to plink with.

Picked this TulAmmo up because it's a great price but you get what you pay for. Ruger 556 won't cycle this steel case ammo. Multiple double feeds and failure to eject.

This is more of a FYI then a review.

These primers sit in deeper than an american made round. You need an extended firing pin and A GOOD EXTRACTOR

My AR15 in 7.62x39 didnt run steel well until I changed those two things and now it runs steel 100%

Out of 1000 rounds only 4 fired. The primer was seated too deeply and resulted in almost nonexistent strikes. This was the result of 4 different factory guns.

I have had nothing but good luck with this ammo. I have shot close to 3K rounds through my AR and it has jammed maybe 3 times and 2 of those was due to a faulty mag. I plan on buying a lot more.

Cycles great in semi, and good to medium range but a real let down in full or bump mode. Many jams in a very well maintained DB full mil. spec.
