Tulammo .223 has changed?

[ccityguy]

So I was at Wally world yesterday picking up a couple hundred rounds to use on the new Slide fire setup. Sidenote: the Tulammo is not ideal for slidefiring. kind of underpowered to rapidly cycle the action. I digress...

The bullets are now just silver, looks like they are no longer copper washing them? Anyone else seen this or did I get some out of a incomplete run?

Might be a cupro-nickel alloy used rather than the usual. It would help to bisect a bullet to see.

I noticed the same thing in the batch that I purchased from Wally World a few weeks ago, though I haven't noticed any change in the accuracy of the different rounds.

I believe the actual manufacturer has changed. The casings are also now berdan primed instead of being boxer primed.

No worries it'll shoot the same. I actually just saw a video on this recently.

 

[CPT Nervous]

Completely normal, for all calibers.

tulammo worked fine in my ar when i had my slidefire

The Tualmmo stuff works but it requires a bit gentler push due to the slight lack in recoil compared to the NATO spec stuff. The NATO spec rounds were easy to fire, plenty of recoil.

Depending on barrel gas port, barrel length, gas system length, buffer spring, and buffer, you guys likely have AR's that cycle slightly differently. It's not that you don't have problems and he does.....it's that you have an AR that's better suited to run lower powered ammo.

Drop a lighter buffer in when you're running Tula on the slide fire if it's having trouble cycling.....Problem solved.
