    Kinda like Wolf. I have to punch out stuck Tula cases in ARs on almost a daily basis at the range. Seen them gum up a 1911 as well, but for some the price is right.

    I shot 40 rounds of it thru my BCM and had like 3 FTE's. I've never had a single issue with my BCM up until I tried Tula. I've fired around five hundred more rounds of Federal since the Tula, and haven't had a single issue. Needless to say, I won't be using anymore Tula.

    One of those YMMV type things, I got some a number of years ago (5.56mm) never had any real problems with it. Funky smell to it and it wasn't exactly MOA stuff. Though it was good enough to be MOBadguy.(Which, more or less what it was designed to be.)
    Little more effort to clean. Other than that, I was fairly pleased with it..

    I don't have problems with it in either .223 or 9mm. My .45 doesn't like it too much, just depends on the gun. I like it for wasting a lot of ammo for cheap.

    If I really really needed to save the buck a box in my 9mm, I'd try it, but I intend on seeing how it does in my AR once I get an upper for it.

    Boostedxt and I shot a bunch of it in his AR on Saturday and had no issues.

    I've tried the 9mm. Seems to run a little hotter than the least expensive federal. I haven't had any issues with it.

    I tried 40 rounds of .223 through my ar with no problems. I am still waiting to pass a verdict though.

    I'm a regular wolf shooter, and never have issues caused by the ammo. (tens of thousands of rounds)

    The 9mm Tula I bought ~October in Las Vegas for my class at Front Sight ran OK until I was getting stoppages in my Glock, resulting in 20% culls for things like mis-seated bullets and crinkled casings.

    When i got back, I emailed TulAmmo with my story and pics of the defective rounds, and was surprised to receive a response from the president. He expressed his displeasure and sent me a 100% replacement case direct from their warehouse in Georgia. I'm about 800 rounds into that case, and haven't had any issues.

    For what it's worth, I've also bought a decent amount in Colorado recently, and haven't had any problems.

    I guess the takeaway is that you *might* have issues with cases that haven't been handpicked by the importer, but they'll make it right. I tossed 20% of a portion (50%) of my ammo, and they replaced it 100%. Quickly, too.

    I'm satisfied, and will keep buying it. As Ol Painless noted, Wolf/Tula is probably the most accurate inexpensive handgun ammo you can buy.
