Bought some tula small pistol primers some time back. Have had numerous misfires in two different pistols with them. Gives me practice clearing misfires, but would not use for anything other than plinking loads. Will not order them again. Appears to be hit or miss on quality control. Some have ordered their producst with good results, others result in posts like this!

Really? Good reviews for tulammo? I can't stand em. Tulammo sucks! But thats just my personal experience I guess. I have an SKS (7.62x39) That shoots amazingly well for a Norinco, unless its Tulammo. Then it misfires and misfeeds. I also have a CZ P-07 Duty, that is impeccably built and never had a single issue for over 1000 rnds., until I used Tulammo. I got at least one misfire from every mag. with the cheap stuff. Maybe there are different grades of quality available? Are you guys that like it buying it online or direct? Maybe they save the crappy stuff for the Wal-Marts, where I got mine.

The only issue I have had is only being able to load 5 rounds in one of my 9MMs. The other 9s eat em just fine, the AR loved steel cased ammo when I had it, my M1 carbine likes it to. I use it for practice so I don't loose loadable casings in the grass. Its good ammo, if you feel the need to buy expensive ammo go for it, it don't bother me.

I only use Kommie steel ammo in Kommie rifles and pistols and have had only one total, complete misfire (dud) that I can remember. The rest (a handful) fired on the second try. This is out of many cases (1000's) bought through the roughly 20 years I've been shooting these calibers.

I've even found Wolf ammo sitting out on the ground that had been exposed to weather over a season with surface rust on the cases that got wiped-off and fired just fine.

Sorry for the bad experience had with the SKS. Might be a firing pin or hammer spring problem or something.:confused:

So out of 300, you had 22 that messed up? Doesn't sound bad to me considering you probably paid in the realm of $50 for all 300. It's Tulammo. Not something I'd carry for self defense but for cheap practice ammo, hey why not? $9 for 50 at my local walmart. Closest thing to it is Federal for $11. I usually buy that, but I bought some Tulammo the other day. Haven't had a chance to run it through the XD yet.
