    Default Tul Ammo gets stuck in mag (video)

    Hey all, I posted about this a while back but wasn't able to quite describe what I was running into. Here's a visual demonstration.

    Is there any way to work around that or should I just never buy Tul Ammo ever again, haha?

    I assume that the Tul cases are rough enough that the cumulative friction prevents them from moving in the mag.

    Maybe start by polishing the inside of the mag with a bottle brush and perhaps some "Barkeeper's Friend" powder.

    I'd be tempted to try running the Tul ammo in a vibratory tumbler, except that it tends to break the powder down so that it burns a little faster, resulting in higher pressures. But I can't think of any explanation other than "rough case finish causing friction".

    doesn't tula lacquer their cases? a little stiction is mare than enough to cause a problem.

    I polish my Tula on a daily basis.

    I think that's an old wives tale. Ive personally done rifle ammo for a couple days or more.
    Dissected them and now powder (dust) to be found. But yes, that is a good idea.

    No lacquer, they apply some kind of polymer coating to their ammo.

    Try a shot of case lube spray in the mag housing. Sprinkle a tiny bit of graphite in a bucket of Tul Ammo and mix around.
