308 Ammo?

[brokenscout]

Does any one shoot Tula 308 ammo(Steel) in there guns? Just wondering.Thank you

I will only shoot steel case ammo in a Russian pattern weapon. I absolutely would not shoot it in an M1A, FAL, HK91, M1 Garand Tanker AR10, or any other .30 cal battle rifle that is not patterned after a Russian style firearm. Just my opinion but I care about them too much. Steel is very hard on chambers and extractors.

I don't use steel case .308. I can't recall even seeing any...ever.

I just picked up a M1A Loaded today. I was told by a guy (that seemed to know what he was talking about) that he would never personally shoot any steel cased ammo through his M1A. Personal preference but I think I'm going to take the advice.

I wouldn't use steel case ammo in my M1A/M14's. Matter of fact, I only use Mil brass.

hey I know I'll get assaulted but your weapon will be fine. Not a fan myself but I've shot a lot of semi-autos with the tula and it functioned fine. Dirty but that is expected. Now bring on the wrath.

i have heard good things about the steel case 308 tula but only for bolt rifles a few guys i know said it feeds poorly and jams up in there semis
i never used steel case in any of my American milsurp weapons and probably never will -just my preferance
i have a tendancy to think that the combloc ammo was made just for combloc weapons and would not let a US weapon perform at its best

If you do shoot it in an M1A, be prepared to have an extractor go AWOL. Also the occasional failure to extract requiring a shell extraction. I have witnessed this with my dads rifle. It was laquer coated copper washed steel. He no longer uses anything but brass. They are your rifles, shoot what you want in them.

I have some MFS ammo which is zinc-plated steel. I shot 20 rounds through an M-14 and it functioned just fine. Accuracy was good.

It won't hurt your rifle. The steel cases of Wolf and other combloc ammo are all very mild steel. The ammo will be dirty and not very accurate but it won't hurt your rifle. With the money you'd save on ammo in a blaster rifle (not purpose built for accuracy) you could buy another rifle after you even get close to burning out a barrel. Extractors are cheap but as I said before...they're heat treated/hardened versus the soft steel in the cases in Russian ammo.
