AR hates Tula

[Kwanger]

Hey, I forgot to mention this, but the Hornady steel cased training ammo seems to run pretty good too and I've seen it on sale at a few places for prices that compare that of bear and tula ammo. The Hornady stuff feels like shooting the "real" stuff to me.

Big +1 on that - IMO that Hornady steel cased training ammo is the most accurate round out there for the price; I'd take it over XM193, Federal, PMC etc any day of the week. Incidentally, looks like Hornady have realized they are onto a good thing with it...looks like they are now marketing directly to civilian shooters as well as LE:

According to Robinson Armament's owner: If an "it" can't shoot steel cased ammo it doesn't work properly/its broke.

I agree with this statement, and am happy that my XCR can eat whatever type of ammo I throw at it. My friends BCM AR eats wolf and silver bear up just as well.

Why spend money on a rifle that can't shoot all type's of ammo?


As far as Ruger voiding their warrant...Ruger doesn't have a warranty system. You just call them and send it in and they generally fix it. There was a guy on here that all but beat his SR9 with a hammer and Ruger still fixed it for free. I doubt they'd refuse to service a mini or SR-556 thats shot steel cased ammo.

If you find some of that Hornady training ammo at a price that works out to about $3.70 per 20, please let me know. That was the last price I paid for a bunch of Tula I bought at Cabela's.

I would be very happy if I could snag some more Hornady training ammo at something approaching Tula pricing.
