The steel revolution seems to be upon us. Once an AR-15 shooter realizes they can shoot for a fraction of the price for most shooting activities and not harm their rifle, it’s pretty much a quick transition to steel for plinking or general target use for AR platform users. The TULAMMO line of steel .223 ammunition presents a large discount to traditional brass cased cartridges with few concessions. The cost to play in the bulk shooting arena with steel is a significant reduction to traditional ammunition with brass casings.
The 62 grain projectile is a nice grain weight for those who want a bit more versatility on longer ranges for hunting, or for those who have low twist rates (like 1 in 7 inches or 1 in 8 inches) because the bullet stability is good out of those guns and the longer sustained trajectories favor a pairing like that offers.
The steel casings are not reloadable, and they tend to be best suited for guns that aren’t made to ultra-match type standards as the tightest tolerance guns can pose a feeding or extraction reliability concern at times. That said, there are few other concessions that must be made to realize the cost advantage of shooting steel.
