- 1000 Rounds of .223 Ammo by Tula - 55gr HP
Details
This 223 ammo by Tula provides a great value for shooters that go through high volumes of ammo. This steel cased ammo is seated with 55 grain hollow point projectiles that have a muzzle velocity of 3,241 feet per second. Tula's 223 ammo works great in some rifles but in other rifles on occasion has issues and as a result we recommend buying a few boxes first prior to buying a whole case to see how it performs in your rifle. For folks who have rifles that perform well with Tula's 223 ammo it provides great savings over brass cased ammo.
Tula's plant, located in Russia, dates back to the 1880's and it produces a wide range of calibers for commercial markets and for military applications.

Don't buy for Ruger ar 556 took a box of this ammo to range would not feed at all and if it tried to feed it would jam. I tried two brands of brass ammo and it fed and ejected all cases. Letting me know it was strictly this ammo. (Posted on 6/29/17)

Great price. The ammo almost didn't arrive in tact. The box that the ammo was packed in was barely keeping the boxes of ammo contained. I actually can't believe they didn't all fall out. I got very lucky... (Posted on 4/9/17)

I have an Adam's Arms with a rifle-length piston and buffer system. This ammo is too low power to cycle the action. I took it to the range today, couldn't get through 3 shots without failures to eject, failures to feed, double feeding etc.
The price is good, it goes bang, but it just doesn't work in my gun. Maybe it'll work in a rifle with a carbine-length tube. (Posted on 3/8/17)

Bought 223 tula ammo. 1000 rounds to shoot out of ruger ar 556. jambs all the time. Casings wont eject, have to pound out casings with a cleaning rod. I believe the barrel heats up and expands and with the steel casings it just jambs up. Sot regular brass ammo today and had no issues after 100 rounds. So now I know that its the steel case ammo. Would not recommend this ammo as now I have 800 rounds that I cant use, therefore not a good value. (Posted on 3/27/16)

I shot this ammo out of my Ruger SR556. The very first round jammed so badly, I had to shove a rod down the barrel to push the casing out. The next 5 rounds jammed but not as bad. I would rather spend the extra cash and get better ammo. There were metal shavings in my weapon when I cleaned it. Not good ammo. (Posted on 4/17/12)

I have read the reviews on this ammo before and figured for the price I would give it a try anyway. I shot the 55gr through my ACR and it continued to jam. I swiched out to Federal Ammo without issue after a magazine or two I tried the Tula again nothing but jams and misfires. I ended up giving the remaining rounds away...way to frustrating to shoot.

2 months ago I purchased 1000 rounds of the 55 grain .223
Yesterday I shot about 200 rounds with only one failure. One primer did not fire properly or only partially fired (should have took a picture) performed SPORTS on my AR (Daniel Defense) and kept rocking. Powder shot pretty clean. I have had dirtier on the range with gov issue M16 and ammo. Exterior portion of casings where clean and not oily/dirty.
A couple magazines I shot rapid fire with transitions to a handgun did not have any problems after the one misfire stated above.
Was only able to shoot targets at less than 100 ft. and the grouping was very tight.
Very happy with what I received, Bulk Ammo was quick with the shipping and had the ammo on my doorstep in 2 days maybe 3. Emailed Bulk Ammo with a question and the customer service was very quick and helpful with their response.
Would and will by again. (Posted on 3/16/12)

Q: How accurate and how often should I clean my AR 15 using this ammo?
Posted On: 1/24/12 By: justin
A: This ammunition is no more or less accurate than the vast majority of bulk, FMJ-type 5.56/.223 ammo. You could clean it as often as you want to, or you could keep adding more lubricant/oil and shoot until the rifle breaks.
Q: CAN YOU TELL ME THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS AMMO VERSUS WOLF OR BEAR?
Posted On: 1/22/12 By: COLE ESTILL
A: All three are made in Russia and feature steel cases with bimetal jackets, which are standard for most Russian ammo. They are loaded within .223 max pressures and are an economical alternative to American-made brass cased ammo, especially for those who do not reload.
Q: What are the pros and cons of FMJ brass casings vs. polymer coated steel?
Posted On: 9/30/11 By: Ron
A: Brass cases can be saved and reloaded or sold/traded to those who reload ammunition - steel cases are not conducive to reloading and are worth very little once they have been fired.
Q: Since the hole in the hollow point is barely noticeable, how much expansion can I expect from this round? Given the light weight and small caliber, I'm not expecting tons of difference from the FMJ. Question is: Would it make a good varmint round?
Posted On: 9/28/11 By: Mark
A: The hollow point in this bullet does not promote expansion or fragmentation. It would not be ideal for varmint hunting.
Q: I have been told some firing ranges will not allow this type of ammo to be shot at their range is this true and why?
Posted On: 9/28/11 By: Jeffrey
A: Some ranges do not allow ammunition that attracts a magnet. This is for various reasons, the foremost of which is because those who run the ranges believe bullets with steel in them to be armor piercing.
Q: Have you had any complaints about the steel casings chewing up the firearm?
Posted On: 9/28/11 By: Scav
A: No, we have not.
Q: what primer is used with this ammunition
Posted On: 9/28/11 By: Anonymous
A: This Tula ammo uses a small rifle primer.
Q: How dirty is this ammunition? I have heard that these steel cases are coated and that they gunk up the bolt and chamber of the rifle. Are they safe to use on a regular basis?
Posted On: 9/28/11 By: Todd
A: These Tula steel cases have a polymer coating which resists extreme temperatures and will not cause the problems you describe. They are safe to use.
