I received this product in 2 days with can opener. Awesome company to buy cheap ammo from. I've shot 3 of these 500 round tins from my DD M4 V11 with no issues. Keep up with your rifle and the ammo will take care of you (Posted on 12/20/2016)

I recently received my "Spam" can of 223 ammo and it came in excellent condition, with the can opener included, I did look at the reviews before ordering it and I was very impressed when I fired it, yes, the Ammo fires a little dirty but for the price I cant beat it, just make sure to clean your weapons very well afterwards and you will not be disappointed with your purchase!

I'm not sure what others are complaining about. The price is about as low as I have seen it, delivery was quick--a day earlier than promised and comparable. The ammo shot clean and accurate. I bought the 500 round can, took it to the range, I sighted my brand new Bushmaster 5.56 M4 first at 50 yards and then at 100. It took a total of about a dozen rounds before it was shooting 1 inch groupings, at 100 yds, from the bench. We put a total of 300 rounds downrange--not one misfire, failure to feed, or failure to extract. I field stripped the rifle expecting the worst and was pleasantly surprised to find only a minimal film inside the chamber. I pulled out the bolt carrier group and wiped it clean with a dry clothe. I would buy Tulammo any day of the week. (Posted on 12/9/2014)

Very impressed by the fast shipping. The prices are a little below market. Will buy here again!! A little disappointed they didn't send an ammo can opener. Watch youtube to see alternate opening methods.

I just got a "spam" can to replenish my supply of .223 ammo. I have used a lot of this (Tula) ammo and this is the best price I've found. Sure, it's a little dirty, but for the price, it can't be beat. I have never had a FTF or FTE with this ammo, and a nice thing you can pick up your "brass" with a magnet. (I did have one double feed, but I think my grandson pulled the charging handle twice) BulkAmmo.com is an excellent source, too. My last order was ordered on the third and it was delivered on the 7th - from Atlanta, GA to Mead, WA in basically three days. The order was filled and shipped the same day I ordered. That's service - KUDOS also to Fedex on the shipping. They even delivered on Saturday! (Posted on 7/8/2012)

This ammo is for stock only but have shoot Tula in the box, and is very dirty. so unlike tide, I have to get the dirt out. I clean weapons after every range time. I have had no problems with Tula but maybe 1 to 1000 misfire or eject. For plinking or lead down range this is the stuff for me. (Posted on 6/25/2012)

I bought 1000 rounds of this ammo. It's a great deal and the ammo showed up lightning quick. I have noticed on warmer days 75+ after about 120 rounds I start to get fail to ejects (I have a Rock River with their heavy barrel). Now if I run Remington or Hornady in the same setting I can shoot all day long and never have an issue except I'm broke later on. So like I said you get what you pay for. This is good ammo, it's just super dirty. I would probably buy it again but only for the cooler months on the range. (Posted on 5/21/2012)

Q: Are these Steel cored bullets?
Posted On: 8/28/2014 By: ajbehzadi
A: Hello,
These 55gr. FMJ rounds by Tula in .223 have a lead core. They do have steel cases though and sometimes use a bi-metal jacket so they will attract a magnet. For non-magnetic rounds, I would suggest a brass cased round.
Q: What is the shelf life of this ammo when stored in my home safe? The shelf life when stored in an unheated garage?
Posted On: 6/4/2014 By: John
A: Hello John,
The shelf life of these Tula rounds is very long. As long as you keep them in a low humidity location, they should last for decades without any issues.
Q: Is this ammo corrosive?
Posted On: 7/1/2012 By: Daniel
A: This Tula ammunition is loaded with non-corrosive components. These cartridges are steel cased with Berdan primers and will not be reloadable.
