500 Rounds of 55gr FMJ .223 Ammo by Tula

One of the greatest misnomers in the gun world is the term “assault rifle.” There are several things wrong with labeling a rifle like the AR-15 an “assault rifle.” First, AR does not stand for that, it stands for Armalite rifle in reference to the original makers of the famed gun. And second, a real assault rifle is one that functions fully automatic, which does not cover the AR-15’s on the civilian market. As shooters know, the AR-15 fires one shot per squeeze of the trigger, making it semi-automatic. The reality is these rifles look big, bulky, and black – and, to the untrained eye, have a “military” appearance. But they are not assault rifles. If your rifle is chambered in .223 Remington, these Tula rounds will let you fire at high volumes without draining your bank account.

This ammunition is manufactured by the famed Tula Arms Plant in Tula, Russia. Tula was founded in 1712 by decree of Tsar Peter I of Russia, and for more than 300 years, they’ve been manufacturing ammunition. Although they got their start making rounds to keep the Russian military supplied, it didn’t take long for their products to reach the civilian market, and today they distribute their ammunition worldwide. They’re known for using the latest state-of-the-art technology during production and also for their determined dedication to producing quality rounds at competitive prices. All ammunition is manufactured to meet SAAMI or CIP standards.

At 55 grain these are lightweight rounds capable of impressive speed. They’re FMJ’s so they’re specifically meant for target practice, tactical training, and plinking; just take care to have a good backstop. They have a muzzle velocity of 3,241 feet per second, so they’re going to reach out and touch your target in the blink of an eye. Tula manufactures these a bi-metal layering process, alternating copper and steel to create a steel case which they then coat in a polymer for dependable cycling. They’re also designed to be non-corrosive, which means less friction in your gun’s barrel. You get a whopping 500 steel-cased target rounds in this box, so place your order, and get to shooting your rifle!
