    i wish i could FIND steel cased stuff locally. (Can't buy ammo online where i live). I'd gladly put up with a few jams in order to save $30 a case.

    A while back during the great primer shortage I bought some Wolf primers because that's all I could find. Right away I started getting FTF's with my tuned competition CZ. A fellow competitor suggested I go with a stiffer mainspring. When I did the problem was solved. A shooting buddy of mine bought a case of Wolf .45 for use in his G30. You could have tracked his progress at a match with the trail of ejected live rounds he left in his wake. In my experience the Wolf primers are harder.

    Your local Walmart doesn't have Tul? ours has 20 packs for 4.99

    I recently experienced a similar FTF with Tula .45 ammo in my Kimber (and RIA compact which has no FP safety which takes that possibility out of the equation). Both had primer strikes but didn't go bang. I reloaded them and the went bang on the second go round. I have had no problems with other ammo.

The FTFs were all clearly struck by the firing pin, nice dead-center dimple, but simply did not go boom. I ejected them and set them aside and went on to shot about 200 rounds of commercial brass loads, no problem, no issues. Toward the end of the range session I decided to see what would happen with my second box of Tula, so loaded it all up and .... only two FTE, no FTF. So, I thought I'd give the four rounds that failed to fire the first time another go...loaded them up and...they all went bang

    What gives? Any ideas why they worked the second time, but not the first time?
    Yeah, I had the same experience with Tula ammo using my M&P. IMO never again will I use them.

    I had a terrible experience with Tula in a brand new AR. Never again. I did buy some 9mm and am wondering how it will fare.
