Tula 223 ammo failure to go off

[gunbunnies]

Just wondering what anyone elses experience with Tula 223 ammo has been lately. How many failures to go off your getting ? I've been shooting a lot of this stuff over the years and as of late I am getting one or two rounds out of twenty that won't go off. Wondering what others experience has been with this stuff...

I just fired off 350rds of this over the weekend with no issues at all. Have yours all been from the same batch number?

I'll have to check the boxes, they were purchased over the last year at assorted walmarts around NW Indiana...

Did the ones which did not go off have good primer strikes or were they a little light?

I have had Tula .223 white box so lightly loaded that it wouldn't cycle my SAR-3 or Norinco 84S-1. I keep a 20 inch cleaning rod to remove the empty shells from the chamber since some seem to glue themselves in. The rounds that do extract can be hand caught without burning yourself as they are cold. Wouldn't try that with a standard .223.

Have had a couple go pop instead of boom and glad I saw dirt kick up on the berm as a barrel check would normally follow to check for a squib.

Been very disappointed with Tula .223 and will never buy any more.

All of the ones I have tried to fire have good solid primer hits but no bang. I have tried to run them through again after clearing them from the gun and I would say 95% of those don't go off either...

At first glance I thought maybe I had a problem with rifle but it does this in all of my AR's and even my MVP so it is the ammo...

I had a herters .223 not go off recently. Aren't they made in tula? I put it through a few times, but no bang.

I will not buy tula spp ever again. Never had an issue with my reloads until i bought tula

tula uses hard primers. Some stock AR triggers are known to have issues with light strikes.
