The Hot Shot 115's aren't here yet but found TulAmmo at Walmart today for $10.97/50.



Can't wait to see The Shadow figure out the Russian powders 

I'd don't know what powder we will find in those, but we can document what we find. 

My g17 shoots tula just fine.
Also my sig 1911 shoots the. 45 tula. Its just $16/50.
every range trip I bring tula and a little brass 2 to 1

My first try with Steel. Should be fine though from what I gather.

  Hot Shot 115gr FMJ is here now. Also loaded in the Ukraine and the big question is will we see the same exact powder/amount? I think they are made at the same Tula location with a little flair and headstamp!

  Notable difference between the two in speed. That's a good thing! I shot 50 of each with the Tula being a little less accurate and the Hot Shot gave one bad primer strike (had to do it twice). I will be stocking up on the cheap Tula when I see it at Walmart for those times when the range is crowded and I don't want to chase brass!
