    Muy buenos - Very good.

  • Bruce said:

    Ive cycled hundreds of rounds without a fail with my Arsenal 101S, I love cleaning my weapon for those who complain about dirty ammo, I have recommended AMMO.Com to all my friends and in the Gun groups I'm in, Thanks, Bruce

  • JOhn said:

    Lots of FTF's...choose something else

  • Raizen Kane said:

    I have a Chinese type 56 (SKS copy). TulAmmo is about all I fire out of it. It's inexpensive, powerful, and all around a good buy. The one drawback to it is the fact that steel cased Russian ammo is dirty after the shots go off. I had to spend about an hour cleaning the powder residue and metal fouling from my rifle. But I wouldn't trade that for nothing. Thanks Russia!! You make such great things.

  • SGriffithUSMC said:

    Fired 200 rounds pretty quickly through my AK. Not a single misfire or cookoff. With the sky rocketing ammo prices lately I definelty got a really good deal

  • tiki said:

    thank you ammo.com you have been great and on time in rough times

  • Matt said:

    I have been using this ammo for over a year in my AK and I have never had a problem. It is fantastic ammo for target shooting. I have yet to encounter a misfire or any problems and I have gone through thousands of rounds.

  • KAWAKID said:

    Great ammo. I've shot over 400 rounds and never had a misfire.

  • Wattah said:

    Nice and easy to use

  • TM said:

    Just use it on the range, fun to shoot, we waste it on rapid fire and its great, no problems. It can be somewhat dirty but hey, thats what gun scrub spray is for and spray on oils,,,,great ammo for the price..

  • larrytbull said:

    Worked great in my mak90> only wish prices were like back 6 months ago

  • markitalynn said:

    Never jammed, was not as dirty as I have been told, and was just alot of fun to shoot. (Also pretty darn accurate for being in an old SKS!)

  • Jeff said:

    I had no problems shooting 75 rounds in my AMD-65.

    good

  • Big John said:

    This is not the first 1000 rounds I've bought of this ammo. Never had a misfire, fairly clean burn and accurate. I'll be back for more when this is gone.

  • Scott2333 said:

    A++++++++

  • Jimbillyjoebob said:

    I feed this ammo to my AK on a regular basis and it never has choked on it yet. It is not the cleanest burning, but for the money you can't beat it.

  • deadeye45 said:

    Nothing negative to say..goes bang every time, great price and got it fast and it was christmas week like I said no cons

  • Smurf said:

    Great. Affordable.

  • Harry said:

    would not jam in a AR47 or AK47 great ammo need more plz....

  • b said:

    Not much to say. 500 rds..through my sks. 2 FTE''s reasonably priced,came in 3 days,and I can shoot at the local range. Great ammo..great service...Thanks!!

  • BB said:

    This ammo fired consistently accurate groups out of my KR 103. It came in a nice packaging with a plastic bullet holder that will be useful for reloading, and all at a decent price. I recommend it and will be buying more.

  • Al G said:

    Shot great groups. No misfires. Will buy more

  • Darren said:

    This is the most accurate ammo that I have ever used. I have been using this ammo in my SKS's for years. It's the best !!!

  • John said:

    This is sealed ammo and Boat tail. wolf isnt. better accuracy. tula isnt as good either. Golden is the best money can buy. John

  • BRUCE said:

    Good ammunition. Feeds, fires and ejects without any problems. Accuracy good out to 300 yds. Sealed and coated casings are good for long term storage. I will purchase more in the future.

  • Michael Anthony said:

    if you have an AK just shoot the lacquered stuff.. if you have an AR this is the best stuff i've seen besides american brass. very clean and easy on your carbine the metal is softer than milspec receivers and much much softer than your barrel. this is actually true with most steel cased ammo however this hasn't even scratched the finish on the receiver after 180 rounds that ran flawlessly on an AR15 pistol chambered in 7.62x39.

  • Matthew said:

    Best prices and fastest shipping around. Thanks guys!

  • Country said:

    Don't get for AR in 7.62 HP`s do not cycle unless you give the feed channel where the lower meets the barrels chamber a little attention a file and sand paper did the trick after about 10 freaking hrs =( I gave 4 stars on quality cause I hate steel but oh well just shtf backup ammo I planned on storing Ty Ammo Dot net for speedy service o7

  • Tripod said:

    So far I have shot 2 boxs, all rounds fired, grouping was O.K. for cheap ammo. Planning to buy more.

  • James Bond Bennett said:

    Great value for money ! Same quality you find in a more expensive round.

  • XXX said:

    I use this ammo for my AK. Overall I am very happy with it. Good ammo at a good price.

  • James said:

    Good ammo.. I've shot thousands of rounds of wolf ammo through my Ak no issues

  • BigD said:

    This ammo is waaaaayyyy overpriced

  • derek said:

    loaded the magazine and it wouldnt cycle a single round. not sure if it the metal or what but bought some local and had no issue

  • MB said:

    This ammo was great for the range, mi issues with anything. It fired without any jams or other problems.

  • William said:

    Had the shipment in a few days, two days after they actually shipped it. Ammo was well packed and did not suffer in shipping. Ammo itself looks good, steel case, lacquered. Functioned well and had reasonable groups, 3.5 in compared to 1 in for handloads. Rifle was very dirty after firing , dirtier than with handloads by a large margin. Rifle cleaned up well though I wouldn't let it sit before cleaning after using this ammo.

  • Jon said:

    Great ammo for a great price, about 100 rounds in and no issues whatsoever.

  • Bcino said:

    Fire’s every round , no mis, jams will be ordering more

  • Ian said:

    I put 400 rounds through my ak-103 works flawlessly its good shooting ammo. I like that the cases are lacquer sealed. Probably won't be able to take it to an indoor range I did the magnet test with the bullet and it sticks so it's definitely a copper wash steel bullet but it goes through half inch mild steel. Definitely the cheapest ammo that I could find and there's no complaints on my behalf it's not corrosive at all.

  • Mabunsreng Ra said:

    Amazing production

  • Zack said:

    This stuff shoots straight, fires every single time, and makes tight groups! Some say it's corrosive but I'm telling you I've never seen one speck of rust or anything that would lead me to believe this. A true must try!

  • Nick said:

    I was unsure about ordering ammo online and having it shipped to my house but this process was very easy and simple. Absolutely no issues getting my order delivered and the ammo has been running smoothly through my rifle. I definitely recommend coming here to get what you need.

  • JtAlmond said:

    The headstamp reads Tulammo, the box reads Telammo but it all goes bang and extracts like all the rest.

  • Richy said:

    It sounds It good and felt it just like i expect it.
