    I don't get it. The waste of a good ammo and the destruction of a weapon. Any weapon will fail if you abuse it enough. It was steel case ammo but we don't know anything other than that.

    Rick, I'll hazard a guess that guy gets his ammo free from some place.

    I have no problems using Perfecta in .380 or 9mm.
    I also use the Brassmaxx in 9mm for practice rounds. It is distributed in the US by Tula'. It is made in Bosnia.

    fm, thanks for this thread. I was about to order a big batch of Tula online. I believe I'll spend a little more and hopefully avoid the frustration.

    I've shot a ton of it. I can live with the odd ftf and out of spec case/seating (I've seen more problems with failure to go into battery than failure to extract; if I don't try to force them home I won't really worry about them coming out). I just wouldn't shoot it in an action that isn't strong enough to trust an over charged cartridge (just because quality control problems in one area makes me believe they will occur in others), that isn't safe against out of battery fire and I definitely wouldn't use it if I ever had to count on it. It's plinking ammo to me.

    Aim Surplus has Wolf for the same price as other dealers sell Tulla.

    That is, if they have any left! They were getting pretty much looted earlier this morning.

    It is good ammo and if you really want to avoid the frustration go ahead and order 500 rounds and get the case discount for 20 rounds @ $4.50 =$0.23 cents per shot.

    That is a good point; if the Wolf and Tula are priced the same I see no reason to prefer the Tula.

    Wouldn't Wolf have the same problems? I though it was steel cased as well. Never used it so....

    Rick, it is called marketing. People will click on the video to watch it..and it promotes their gun store.

    Fine. I still don't get it. It's like all those destruction knife videos. Abuse them till they break.

    It sounds like you do get it. You're describing it perfectly.

    Since when are you suppose to understand marketing?

    Have you guys ever been to a faculty meeting at your local school?

    That is where they got the idea for that film.

    Only difference is that after asking someone to perform the impossible feat they follow it with "but its for the children!"
