Question

Answer 1

A: Hello Andrew! Many shooters are afraid that steel jackets might harm their barrel. That's reasonable, but in truth the steel used to make bimetal jackets is just too soft to harm a barrel. A barrel typically has a Brinell scale hardness of 650/700. The steel in this bullet's jacket is around 120/130, so it's quite incapable of scratching of gouging a barrel. In fact it will wear out your barrel at virtually the same rate as conventional copper jacketed bullets. Steel jackets are usually avoided because indoor ranges often prohibit them. This is because steel jackets have a higher chance of causing sparks, ricochets, and damage to range equipment.

Answer 2

A: According to Tulammo their ammunition meets both European’s C.I.P. requirements as well as America’s SAAMI requirements.

Answer 3

A: Hi Andrew. At this time there are no restrictions in place that would keep you from ordering this steel cased ammo. Just make sure your range does not have prohibitions against magnetic ammo!

Answer 4

A: Hello Jax, Bi-metal jacketed projectiles will absolutely cause more damage to steel targets than copper jacketed projectiles will. Since there is still steel in the jacket of a bi-metal jacket, you will still experience pitting on the steel like you do with steel cored rounds.

Answer 5

A: Hello Earl, Tula ammunition is all loaded using a polymer coated steel case. They no longer use any lacquer for coating on their ammunition.

Answer 6

A: This 223 rifle ammo from Tula is loaded with non-corrosive ammunition components. These rounds are berdan primed and will not be suitable for reloading.

Answer 7

A: The bullets are composed of a bimetal material. This will cause the bullet to stick to a magnet. It is a good idea to check with your local indoor range for any types of ammo that may be restricted. Where allowed, this Tula ammo is a great choice for any target or practice application on the range. The bimetal jacket will not cause any premature wear on your barrel. These cartridges are also loaded with non corrosive components.

Answer 8

A: For practice, plinking, and training, steel cased ammo is a great choice. It can't be reloaded and has little residual value, but allows the shooter to buy more ammo with less money. For defense and duty use, premium brass cased ammo is recommended.

Answer 9

A: This ammo should be reliable in any firearm chambered for .223 Remington.

Answer 10

A: The intense heat and pressure involved with the firing of a centerfire rifle cartridge will do far more to wear out your rifle than whether the case is brass or steel.
