Details
This 9mm Luger ammunition from Tula fulfills the needs of
high-volume shooters at a great price. It fires a 115-grain bimetal FMJ round
at 1150 feet per second, achieving typical 9mm Parabellum ballistics. Each box
contains 50 cartridges, which use nonreloadable steel cases coated in non-toxic
polymer for improved feeding and ejection. This ammo uses non-corrosive Berdan
primers.
TulAmmo is the brand of the Tula Cartridge Works, a longstanding Russian ammunition producer located south of Moscow in the city of Tula. The plant was established in 1880 in the Russian Empire; its first seven-year contract required the production of 210 million rounds of ammunition. Today, the plant’s capacity has grown to the point that its exports to the US alone exceed 500 million rounds annually.
The Tula Cartridge Works has a long history of producing good steel-cased ammo, a major cost-saver due to Russia’s abundant iron deposits. It currently operates as a private company and exports to more than 20 countries in Europe as well as the United States.

Great ammo, shot about 1200 rounds out of my Sig P365 XL, out of 1200 rounds there was only one issue which was a primer that did not fire but clearly had an imprint from my firing pin. One failure out of 1200 for ammo as cheap as this in 2021? I'll gladly take it. Highly recommend for range practice! Just make sure you clean your gun every 500 or so, stuff is FILTHY.

I use this ammo all the time in my 9 and .380 pieces. It performs decently in my guns. I've probably shot 500 rounds all together and have honestly never gotten a stem. Now it does spark a lot and definitely contributes to greater residue and lead build up after the shooting. Truthfully, it's the dirtiest ammo I've ever had. But....the price is right.

The first time I bought this i had no issues and i thought great, cheap ammo aplenty for the range. My next purchase of a thousand rounds was a disaster! A lot of the ammo seemed weak and some of it didn't even leave the barrel I wound up hammering several loads out of my guns barrel. I will not buy russian ammo again and suggest nobody else run this stuff in any good gun. (Posted on 9/18/2020)
Doesn't Load the Same as Brass Ammo

I am trying to work through the stash I bought for my EDC Glock 43. I gave it a three because my Glock will load and fire the ammo 99.9% of the time. But you can feel the difference in your hand when you rack the gun and it strips a round into the chamber. Every once in a while it has to have an assist. I have loaded brass in right behind it and it feels as smooth as ever and never, ever misses a beat.My gun seems to be dirtier when cleaning it afterwards as well. I still have about 300 rounds to work through, and after that, I am going to stick with brass rounds. (Posted on 12/9/2017)

When using this ammo, my mags would not compress properly. The bullets would nose dive when loading or just fall out if you hold that mag upside down. Very weird, tried with 4 mags, 3 different guns. Never failed to fire or eject though. (Posted on 3/19/2017)

I've almost finished 2000 rounds of this ammo and I have concluded that overtime the steel casings wear on my magazines and internal pistol parts. I've decided it's not worth a little bit of extra savings because the steel casings drag and create a lot of wear on internal parts in my opinion. Maybe not the case for a revolver, in a semi automatic I think I will leave them alone. (Posted on 11/28/2016)

I ran about 450 rounds through it over a weekend, had one fail to eject that jammed in my barrel... had to field strip and push it out with a stick.
Also when cleaning my Glock, there was white stuff in the rifling that would not come out, I spent 30 minutes scrubbing with Hoppe's gun cleaner and brushes... it is flaking off but still in there.
I'm hoping that firing some copper through it will clean out the barrel.
Overall it's really good ammo for a really good price, just one FTF out of almost 500, two failed to eject, one jammed in the barrel.. I think I won't be buying it again though, I'll spend a little more for some nicer ammo. (Posted on 5/31/2016)

I put 500 rnds of this through my Glock 17 gen 4 and another 500 through my Taurus PT917C. No misfires, no failures to feed or eject. It went boom every time I pulled the trigger and it hit what I was aiming at, although the accuracy kinda drops around 50yds. It's fun plinking stuff and it did what I wanted it to do.

Purchased the 1000 round box. Put 50 rounds through a Springfield Arms XP-9 sub compact (for concelement) and put 50 rounds through Baretta P-4 Sport (for concelement) found no problems with the ammo. No miss fires, ejected fine on both guns. I cleaned both guns after fireing and found no more resedue with this ammo than with any other the I have fired. I am very well satisified with this ammo.

The 9MM Ammo by Tula is the best price ammo around. No other manufacture can beat the price. And the quality is just as good as the more expensive stuff. No jams after 1,000 rounds in my Glock 19. The only thing I noticed is the gun was very dirty after using 300 rounds. This was the only thing I noticed compared to other Ammo. Other than that, believe me it is worth the money and you will not be disappointed. And this is coming from someone who is very critical of all purchases. (Posted on 2/20/2012)

A lot of haters out there on the cheaper stuff. This isn't the greatest ammo on the planet, but I have gone through 400 rounds on my Taurus and Sig without a single issue. The stuff goes bang everytime - For me it works. I like the brass the best, but in comparison this gets the job done. Just clean your gun a little when you're done. Would buy this all the time if I could... (Posted on 2/11/2012)

The saying is, you get what you pay for. I thought this ammo was a bargain, and I found out why....The ammo is totally unreliable..I have a sigsaur and I've shot thousands of rounds with it...never misfired till I used this ammo..Several of the primers were old and actually had to be struck twice to go off..The piwder was old...several times when I shot unburned lowder came out the barrel like a sparkler.. out of the five hundred rounds I fired of this brand maybe 1/4 off the ammo went off without a problem...Dont waste your money on cheap ammo....

Q: Do they use a steel core because my local range will not let me use it
Posted On: 4/23/2021 By: Daniel Calbo
A: Thanks for reaching out Daniel! The steel in Tula's bullet isn't in the core – it's actually in the bimetal jacket, but that makes it magnetic just the same. The best nonmagnetic 9mm range ammo by the box we have in stock right now is Sellier & Bellot's:
bulkammo.com/bulk-9mm-ammo-9mm124grfmjsb-50
They're a Czech manufacturer, and their FMJ has a solid lead core with a copper alloy jacket – no steel to be found!

Q: Are these suitable for a Smith and Wesson 9mm?
Posted On: 10/25/2020 By: Ilana
A: Abolutely Llana, this ammo should function correctly in any 9mm firearm!
Q: what country is it made in ?
Posted On: 10/4/2020 By: Rose
A: Hi Rose! Tula ammo is made in Russia.
Q: Will this fire well in my m&p 2.0 9mm?
Posted On: 9/13/2020 By: David Whitaker
A: Hi David! This ammo would function correctly in your handgun, although I regret that we haven't got it in stock at the moment. You can see our current selection of available 9mm ammo here: bulkammo.com/handgun/bulk-9mm-ammo. If you're after target shooting ammo, then I believe you'll be satisfied with Federal's American Eagle: bulkammo.com/bulk-9mm-ammo-9mm147fmjae-50.
Q: Is this ammo lead-free?
Posted On: 12/26/2016 By: RLW
A: Hello!
This Tula ammunition features a lead core, bi-metal jacketed projectile design. This round is not considered to be lead free.
Q: Can you use this ammo in a ruger 9mm?
Posted On: 11/18/2016 By: MRC
A: Hello MRC,
This is the correct caliber to use in your Ruger 9mm. You will want to check your owners manual or contact Ruger directly to see if they restrict the use of steel cased ammunition in their firearms. While it certainly won't hurt or damage the firearm, some manufacturers do have restrictions on steel cased ammo in their firearms.
