All I shoot through my AR is Tula. Never a jam. The price you quoted is double what it was pre-newtown, but if you got the $$$ go for it.

Price are ridiculous but thanks for the info

I wouldn't drop that much or steel. I shoot steel, but not at that price.

Steel cased Ammo is good imho. At this point unless your a reloader I don't see the point in waiting around for brass to become cheap again. Shoot whatever it is you can get your hands on at what you feel to be a fair price.

The ammo is good to go. The price is not.

TulAmmo used to sell online for $200/1k rounds. I know ammo is hard to find right now, but it's not worth paying double IMO. And if people keep buying it at those prices, there's no reason for the price to go down.

Just don't shoot brass cased ammo without cleaning the chamber first after firing steel cased ammo.
The residue left by the incomplete expansion of the steel cases in the chamber acts like carbon glue when a brass case fully expands into the chamber.
Other than that steel is good to go.

What gun are you firing it in or would be firing it in? I assume an AR based on the .223 , so alot depends alot on your AR, if you have a very tight chamber such as a match grade chamber or just a real tight tolerance, you might have trouble. I have 2 ARs, one will run anything i can throw at it, the other, has a tight chamber, it will not run steel case at all. I might get 5 rds to cycle before it fails to eject. and yes, I upgraded the extractor and super cleaned the chamber, it just wont cycle correctly with the steel. my advice, if you can, track down a box or two of the steel case stuff and make sure it runs in your gun before dropping that kind of coin on something you're unsure of.
