Steel case 45 ammunition...

[Nate-X]

Is it any good? With the exception of not being able to reload that is. Walmart had 50 rounds of some brand.. taluma? For like $13.00 each.

That is about all I shoot recreationally in my RIA Compact.

+1 I shoot wolf .45 all the time out of my XD. I never had any problems.

I don't think I've ever shot any Tulammo in .45, but I've definitely put a bunch of it through various guns in .380, 9x18, and 9x19mm, and have had no problems. Very dirty, and a little bit of a funky smell IIRC, but that's no different from any of the cheap stuff, and Tulammo is definitely the cheapest price-wise. Supposedly steel cases can be tough on extractors, but I'm guessing the difference is pretty minimal, and the impact this has may very well be nonexistent in some guns. Clandestine or another smith could speak more to that.

My FNP-45 eats Herter's ammo like candy.

I just scored a 450 round can. You bet it's going through my 1911s.

Do as you wish OP.

Though MY GUNS will never see steel cased ammo except the commie tommie designed guns such as AK's SK's, Tokarevs, Makarovs, Jerkmeovs, etc. as they're designed to handle steel cases.

Ah come on Lou! You saw how good that stuff shoots.

Careful trying to shoot it indoors. Some ranges have found that the bullet is not all lead, some have steel cores and they ban the use of the Tula, Bear and Wolf ammo.

I guess it depends on the gun you're running it through. I know I probably wouldn't run it through a 1911, but I have no qualms running steel-case ammo through a Glock.

Yea, well you would've done better if it was quality brass ammo......

As I said, "not in my guns".

I've never had a problem with Wolf .45ACP.

 

[haoleboy]

I've shot blazer steel thru my 1911 without an issue.

Freestate Range won't allow it because the bullet has steel in it and damages the range.
I imagine other ranges might feel the same.

 

[fivepointstar]

I shot Tula .45 yesterday out of my 1911 and no problems

As mentioned before many indoor ranges won't allow steel stuff. The bullets found in steel cased ammo are usually magnetic meaning the jackets also contain steel. Steel jackets can cause undue wear to backstops, damage steel targets/target holders, and can spark when striking rocks or steel. Even some outdoor ranges ban magnetic bullets since they can increase the likelihood of a fire.

That being said I have no issues shooting the steel stuff out of most of my guns.

Mostly because they can't resell the brass.

Plus it is a PIA to seperate the Brass from the Steel.

Wouldn't a large magnet negate that?

Get one of those magnets on extensible rods. Saves the back and knees, as well.
