huggytree Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) Anyone try Tula? Im testing different ammo to see if one runs better than others in my Reising Its not like I can buy 10 different brands to test right now. Ive got 4 types though I dont plan on shooting Tula regularly. Just want to test w it and Ive got a case to use up Edited October 1, 2020 by huggytree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyDixon Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 ive found that tula .45 is very rough to use in reisings,,the reising has a kinda flimsy extractor and steel case ammo causes a lot of ware on extractor, brass case is best, just sayn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmagee1917 Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 I usually use Winchester 230gr FMJ white box or my identical hand loads . One time I tried a couple of boxes of jacketed semi wadcutter for giggles and laughs . To my surprise it fed and functioned fine and actually ran smoother with that .Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeRanger Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 I've run Winchester, Remington, American Eagle, berdan-primed Argentine surplus, Blazer Brass, a little Blazer aluminum (before I knew better), Maxxtech and my handloads through my Reising. Everything except the Maxxtech garbage worked well. The Argentine ammo was hard primed and needed a Wolff hammer spring to be reliable. The Remington was by far the dirtiest and seemed to run a skosh slower but it ran. The handloads require that I use a Lee Factory Crimp die to be 100% reliable. Blazer Brass has been my factory ammo of choice. I won't run steel cased ammo in anything I currently own but I did run it in an SKS before I found Geco for a reasonable price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huggytree Posted October 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 did ammo testing with (4) types federalamerican eagletula S&B The tula ran the best by far! on the first round where you have to work the action the Tula fed smooth without any issue, while the S&B often you had to snap the action a second time to get it to feed. Im typically a huge fan of S&B, but in this case it did the poorest of the 4 types. Id think Tula would damage the extractor and ejector long term?
