It is both economical and reliable and is produced by one of the most established ammunition plants in the world. Tula ammunition derives its name from its birthplace, the Tula Cartridge Works in Tula, Russia. This same plant also produces many of the products branded in the United States as "Wolf Ammunition". The Tula Cartridge Works plant was founded in 1880 and is currently one of the largest ammunition manufacturing plants in the world. The Tula name has gained a following worldwide for its rugged, reliable, and economical product.

They've invented simple and reliable weapons, and know a lot about producing ammunition too. At the Tula factory south of Moscow, hundreds of millions of rounds are made each year. As you might expect, a lot of the ammunition produced at Tula is 7.62x39, the cartridge fired by the ubiquitous AK-47 series of weapons. For this video, I shot some 124 grain hollow-points. Sometimes people buying hollow-points in this caliber want to know if the bullet used is the 8M3 SAPSAN projectile, which provides increased terminal effectiveness. However, these bullets do not appear to have the scoring inside the hollow-point, so they're most likely not SAPSAN bullets. However, this can vary from lot to lot. The ammo was reliable in a variety of rifles, including semi-auto and fully-auto AKs, as well as VZ-58s and SKSes. It was easy to control and shoot rapidly, which meant general plinking was a lot more fun. I was wondering if the hollow-point design would cause feeding problems in any of the weapons, but I didn't see any malfunctions. The ammo wasn't especially accurate. But then again, neither were any of the firearms I shot it through. It's more than good enough for most purposes, though. Tula ammunition in 7.62x39 is a good choice for general range use. So if you haven't tried it before, you might want to check it out.
