Details
A Russian ammunition manufacturer for a Russian cartridge. Tula Ammunition dates back to 1880 when Emperor Alexander II approved the establishment of a new cartridge plant. Tula’s first contract was to produce 210 million rounds within the first seven years of their foundation -- today they are their country’s leading ammunition manufacturer.
Although they originally made their cartridges with brass casings, Tula switched over to steel in the 1920s partly thanks to Russia’s staggeringly abundant iron reserves. This 7.62x39mm cartridge has such a casing with a Berdan primer, making it significantly less expensive than a brass cased cartridge for the trade-off of being non-reloadable. With 1,000 rounds to work through, though, you wouldn’t have thought about reloading for quite some time anyway.
This cartridge’s 122 grain projectile sports a full metal jacket, so you will keep your bore cleaner and your groupings tighter during protracted range sessions.

I shoot a lot of Tula through my AK with good results. Cheaper from this source than from the local big box store, which doesn't always have it stock. (Posted on 11/2/2016)

Ordered my ammo late thur night. talked to bulkammo fri to confirm my info and shipment showed up sat. Bought 50 rounds of .40 s&w hollow point for the same price I pay at walmart for 20. Bought 1000 rounds of 7.62 x 39 and saved about a few bucks per hundred count box compared to Walmart. 100 rounds of .22 for a few bucks cheaper than other stores (which never have any). After shipping cost and insurance I still saved a few dollars. I haven't fired any of the ammo but I buy these name brands regularly. All in all I'm very happy with my order. They have what I need and the amount I want. Only negative thing I have to say is the original packaging of the ammunition was in poor shape. (Posted on 10/15/2016)

AKs were made to eat steel. Good ammo at a good price from a good company. Shipping was fast and the packaging appropriate. Why buy anywhere else? (Posted on 10/5/2016)

Shipment arrived in 2 days and right on time. Have only fired approx. 120rds through it without so much as a hiccup. Looking forward to another 1,000 rds AND some more 5.56mm as well. Great stuff (Posted on 9/29/2016)

I have fired about 3k rounds of this ammo and have had zero ammunition related issues in my Romanian WASR 10 ak47. AMAZING customer support and service with bulkammo. Always over box package. Exterior box of shipment in fine condition but individual Tula boxes were in rather poor condition when package was opened. (Posted on 8/21/2016)

Gone through a few hundred of these now and only one failure, a primer jumped out after firing and jammed my SKS.
Found the primer when I got home taking the gun apart.
Other than that I had no problems what so ever. Will buy more. (Posted on 5/3/2016)

What I really liked was I bought this ammo and got it shipped to me cheaper than I could buy it local from a discount store. The service was great. My order was received the day it was promised and was what I ordered. How much better can it get? (Posted on 12/21/2015)

Q: I'm confused. Is the bullet magnetic? or is it only lead?
Posted On: 7/13/2021 By: Steve Wiegand
A: Very simple sir! This cartridge's bullet has a lead core and a bimetal jacket. A bimetal jacket is mostly made of steel, with a very thin copper exterior.
Q: Is this ammo steel core and if not, does Tula offer a steel core variant?
Posted On: 8/14/2016 By: Eric
A: Hello Eric!
This ammunition is loaded with a lead core, bi-metal jacket projectile. Currently Tula does not manufacture any type of steel cored ammunition in any caliber.
Q: Are the Tul Ammo rounds bimetal? I have an event coming up and can't use bimetal rounds.
Posted On: 5/25/2016 By: Nathan
A: Hello Nathan!
The Tula ammunition is loaded with a lead core, bi-metal jacketed projectile. Currently your best bet for a standard FMJ style round is the brass cased PMC, Prvi Partizan, or the Fiocchi.
Q: Is this corrosive ammo?
Posted On: 11/16/2015 By: Keith
A: Hello Keith,
This ammunition is all new manufacture and does not contain any corrosive components.
Q: Is this particular ammo corrosive? I know some are.
Posted On: 2/25/2014 By: Don Williams
A: Hello Don,
These 122gr. FMJ rounds in 7.62x39 by Tula are non-corrosive. They are safe to shoot in any firearm chambered in 7.62x39.
