Tula’s cost-effective ammunition would make a great solution for day-long fun at the range. Unfortunately, the Russian manufacturer usually puts steel in their projectiles, which ranges concerned about sparks and damage to their backdrops won’t permit. That’s why Tula offers this 223 Rem cartridge with a 55 grain brass jacketed hollow point – it’s totally nonmagnetic and complies with many ranges’ bans on steel projectiles!
Because cartridge brass is more rigid than copper, Tula is able to give this round’s bullet a thinner jacket to save on production costs. This is a hollow point bullet, but it’s not going to expand as dramatically as a pistol’s hollow point would as it penetrates soft tissue. It still does plenty of damage, of course, which you’ll find useful if you must ever wield your AR in self-defense.
This round’s steel shell casing is coated in a thin layer of polymer. That will protect it from gradually rusting due to humidity, and also improve the reliability with which it cycles through a semi-auto. This ammo features non-corrosive Berdan primers that will protect your action and bore from rotting out just because you like to shoot a lot.

Q: These hollow points seem very inexpensive. Since these are only slightly more than the ammo noted as having rust spots, I want to know if these are good or if there is more to be aware of? Thank you.

A: Hello Nathan! We did observe minor rusting in a recent delivery of 62 grain FMJ ammo, and priced it accordingly. This 55 grain HP ammo is from a different shipment and is factory fresh.
