Many years ago i bought box's of Russian 45 cal for my 1911 45....The steel cases...Quite a few smoke-stacked ....Then when one shot never left the barrel ....I dumped the whole 10 boxes in the lake...

I haven't had any issues with the Tulammo 9mm - it also seems to get very decent reviews

Like i said that was quite a few years ago....It might have been the Russian stuff made for them in Czechoslovakia......

I don't know much about any other Russian ammo, but when I did decide to try some out to have something cheap for practice and as a emergency supply I did look into it a bit and I found that the Tulammo 9mm is made in Tula Russia and it is what the Russian military and police use for training - I figured that if the countries military trust it for training then it is probably pretty reliable - - later when looking at some online reviews I also found out that when Tulammo makes their ammo they dont just cut it from tubing stock, they instead take an actual gun of the size ammo they are going to make and then cast molds from that guns barrel - in the case of the nine mm the gun used to mold the casings was the Glock 17 - - there is also a brass Tulammo product, but it is actually made in Italy and I dont know anything about it

Also saw a test of the Tulammo where they measured the weights of the bullets for consistency which is supposed to be a sign of the manufacturing quality and found that there was a less than 2% variance which shows excellent quality According to weapon-blog.com... Tulammo's numbers are better than Winchester, Blazer and PMC.

now to be clear my 9mm carbine probably wouldnt care what ammo I fed to it and has always taken whatever I have put in it without problem - so I can not and will not vouch for how the Tulammo will work or if it will work at all in any other gun

Quote from Bigdog

that would depend on how old it is and where and how it was stored....I rather bet my life on American made ammo...

when it comes to guns and ammo Russia seems to do pretty well, the AK 47 - a fine Russian design - has in many ways proven to be far more reliable than its American counterparts - if memory serves, I recall stories on U.S. military men in Vietnam ditching their American made M-16s and instead using captured Russian designed AK47s - - - - - there are not many things I would trust the Russians to do as well as Americans, but when it comes to weapons they seem to hold their own.

Now just to be clear - My stash also has its fair share of other ammo - - in a home defense situation first clips are already loaded with 124 grain Federal Hydra-Shok and after that I have a couple of 350 round cases of Blazer Brass FMJ to go through before I would even have to think about breaking into the Tulammo

its all about cost and value - - as much as I would like to have thousands of rounds of the Hydra-Shok hidden away it just isnt financially reasonable or logical for that emergency stash I hope I never need nor is it practical as a practice supply - - - - - so small supply of Hydra-Shok - - medium supply of Blazer Brass for practice and backup - - and finally a larger supply of SHTF Tulammo I hope to never need.

as a side note - all of my backup stash was acquired before California started its stupid background checks on ammo purchases - and when I could still order it online and sent directly to me

New CA laws SUCK - - -

That is still even true today about the AK-47

Don't know about using a AK....But the early 16's had a jamming problem if the 20 round mags were filled with 20....I would put 18 in the mag, then taped another mag with 18 upside down to each other never jammed after that....That said that was in 1966 i'm sure the newer ones are top notch ...

Hey ConnMan ....check it out

Another one bites the dust....wait...what thread is this

Early M16 were fed smokeless ammo, no lube, gun jammed. Later M16 used a better powder and did not jam. Plus a lot of condoms were used, stretched over the tip of the barrel to keep mud and rain and crap out of the barrel.

Tuleammo should only be used for practice firing, not for self defense. To many fed ramp jams to be dependable.

Remember, the lion is the last to die in the jungle.

Just my two cents worth.

It depends, does the Ruger AR-556 come with it? If it does, then yes, and I've not had any trouble zeroing mine.

It is an after market addition. RW Arms $300-$400 When you pull the trigger it shoots and resets, on release it shoots again.
