My Stag 2TL had issues firing the TulAmmo steel case rounds. They would fire fine but the case seems to expand. I fired about 30 rounds before one actually locked in chamber. I had to use a cleaning rod and force the case out of the chamber and noticed that my extractor actually took off a chunk of the cartridge rim. Upon further inspection of other spent rounds I noticed all the rims had marks from my extractor. Lesson learned dont use cheap Russian shit in a Stag!

I don't own a stag, but I've read that some rifles will "breakin" after 1k rounds of brass. Then it will shoot steel just fine.

I shot steel out of my recently built rifle on its first range trip. I noticed if I didn't allow the barrel to cool between rounds the third round casing would stick.

If you want to shoot steel, build a cheap upper with a $100 chrome lined barrel and abuse that.

I just shot about 240rnds Tula/Wolf mix this weekend thru my 2T and the only problem I had was 1 FTF. All ejected just fine and no jams.

TulAmmo 223 is among the very weakest and poorest performing of steel-cased rounds.

I broke in my 2TL with brass for several hundred rounds and then started using Wolf for my range trips. Never had issues.

Thanks for the replies. Im gonna steer clear of TulAmmo and stick with brass cased ammo.
