• TulAmmo .223 Remington is a popular, budget-friendly steel-cased rifle ammunition produced by Tula Cartridge Works in Russia. It’s widely used for target shooting, training, and plinking, particularly in AR-15 platforms and other rifles chambered in .223 Rem or 5.56 NATO.

  Advantages:

  • Affordability:
    One of the cheapest options for .223 ammo, making it ideal for high-volume shooting.
  • Reliable for Range Use:
    Works well in most AR-15 platforms and bolt-action rifles.
  • Non-Corrosive:
    Modern TulAmmo uses non-corrosive primers, reducing barrel wear compared to older Soviet-era ammunition.

  Considerations:

  • Steel Casing:
    • Not reloadable (due to Berdan priming and steel construction).
    • May cause more wear on extractors over time compared to brass.
    • Can be slightly harder on chambers but not significantly detrimental for casual shooters.
  • Accuracy:
    While reliable, TulAmmo is not typically known for precision shooting. Expect good accuracy for general plinking, but match-grade ammo will outperform it in tighter groups.
  • Potential Feeding Issues:
    Some AR-15s with tighter chambers might experience occasional extraction issues. However, most modern rifles are designed to handle steel-cased ammunition.
  • Range Restrictions:
    Some indoor ranges prohibit steel-cased ammo due to spark risk and concerns about damage to backstops. Always check your range’s policy.

  Ideal Use:
