Steel Ammo- Tula

[mr ed]

Is the tula loaded alittle light? Have you ever seen it short stroke an AR?

not as bad as cheap federal.
my 9 and 45 hit the same places on metal silhouttes at 100 yards as blazer brass or winchester white box.
cheap federal 45acp hits the ground 20yards in front of them.
never had a problem in an AR.

...and reload them!

Beautiful! I know most say dont reload it but tons of the guys over at AR15.com do it too. I am starting to save my steel cased shells now too.

I say that steel is harder on chambers than Brass!!!!
1) Metallurgically that is a no-brainer
2) Seen several Glock barrels ruined by Steel ammo, from chamber wear and then failures as a result.

Im pretty sure they dont want steal used at ranges because they make a buttload off of saving your brass you leave laying on the ground. Im no expert but thats my theory. If steal hurts their backstops wouldn't you think the military would make it a standard to use it if it has that much power?
