A friend of mine bought some. Couldn't resist the price. Through lots of jams, and trial and error, we figured out it would stick in a hot barrel. If you fired no more than a few shots, and then left the barrel empty, it was okay. Don't leave one in the chamber of a hot barrel. it will stick. Probably the coating.JakeTheSnake wrote:Thats what I was thinking, more for plinking and hoarding, not for competition.uthornsfan wrote:I would consider tulaammo more for plinking and hoarding. It is dirty and cheap, steelcase and bi-metal. This means it will run but will require more cleaning/maintenance the more you shoot.
I never had a problem with reliability or overall functionality but I stopped buying steelcase ammo.
I always clean my guns after shooting so no problem there. More concerned about reliability with cheap ammo.

Re: ammo on sale
22LR prices are almost back to good old days
555 rds for $28/box. I grabbed 3boxes as I am depleting my stock by shooting frequent steel Matches. DPC real steel was a blast.

Thanks! Guess I better go tomorrow and check the local store.

My local Wal Marts never have any .22s. However, my closest Academy is usually well stocked.

Re: ammo on sale
The Academy stores around me have .22 ammo on the gondola shelves and end caps. No limit as far as I can tell. BTW My Academy doesn't allow the return of ammunition.Beiruty wrote:I returned what I got from Academy, Winchester plastic box are on sale for $8 per 100 plus tax.

Re: ammo on sale
Return ammunition? That's really a thing? Never heard of it.

Neither mine, but when you enter the store in Camo with Green Cabelas' hat and large 1911 under Bushnell heavy hunting jacket, all that leverage does help.puma guy wrote:The Academy stores around me have .22 ammo on the gondola shelves and end caps.

Re: ammo on sale
I tried to return a sealed case of 12ga Win AA and they said there policy wouldn't allow it. I actually just wanted to exchange it for a smaller shot size. I'm glad that every once in a while rational thought prevails.Beiruty wrote:Neither mine, but when you enter the store in Camo with Green Cabelas' hat and large 1911 under Bushnell heavy hunting jacket, all that leverage does help.puma guy wrote:The Academy stores around me have .22 ammo on the gondola shelves and end caps.

Re: ammo on sale
Best 9mm ammo deal I have seen in a while - Remington has Black Friday $5 rebate for each 50rd box of UMC ammo.
https://www.ammunitiondepot.com/916-rem ... n-fmj.html 6.99/50rds of 9mm, Shipping on the 2000rd max for the rebate max ($200 max rebate) would be about $26, so about $507-$200 - $307 total for 2000rds - about 15c/rd.
