    Issues with Tula 308 in belt fed's

    this is a heads up for anyone thinking about stocking up on Tula and runing it in your belt fed.
    Running Tula 308 this weekend and I had no less then 5-7 case separations in my 1919s. The guns run perfect with brass cased at 3 clicks. After the first two case seperations I set the guns at 2 clicks and still had cases rupture. Look at the photos but I think the web on this 308 is not make correctly. Blowing the cases in the 1919 was not too bad but shooting these rounds in any other gun may possibly cause worse issues. After this weekend I don't think I'll be shooting Tula again and I'll be sending them a email here shortly. This is just a heads up for anyone thinking about purchasing it....

    So this is Tulammo response to me using their ammo in a belt fed....

    Unfortunately, the Tulammo .308 Win is not made to be used as linked ammo on
    a machine gun. We cannot take back linked ammo, the cases would be altered
    and it is not worth the cost to ship them back to the East coast. We
    suggest going back to the Gun dealer to return the ammo. We will
    work with The dealer on some sort of deal on their end.


    So your telling me their steel ammo is not made for linked weapons? ....

    I'm still fighting them to get my money back... Pretty disappointing....

    Why would you shoot steel case when you can get zqi for thesame price or less and it's brass case loaded to NATO specks. I saw zqi for 0.45 cents a round a week or so ago.

      Well I for one, wish I had a belt fed 308. Congrats on that.

        Good to know, but I also wonder why you would run steel case through such a nice weapon unless you just wanted to see if it would work.

          No mention of bullet weight??

          you do know that the 1917 and 1919 are designed to run on lower powered 150 grain ball ammo, and require some serious adjustments to run anything else,

          Tula and wolf are known to be hot no matter the load..
