Tula 9mm ammo
Has anyone tried or can recommend this ammo? I have a S42 1937 P08 9mm. Our local Walmart has a ton of this ammo and cheap too.
Thanks, Major Tom

Steel case- absolutely not.
Brass case- I don't know. They do "make" both.

I have bought some and as long as it was brass I think fine.
Things to be aware of - steel case is ''likely'' too hard for the lugers ejector - always be aware of Nato strength loads, too much - folks will tell you that the luger requires hot rounds - I think SLIGHTLY hotter than say, winchester white box but not plus P or Nato - why chance it? I have used with success some ammo called Olympia - bought a 1,000 rounds of it and used it in my various lugers over the years (not a huge shooter) - Winchester white box - Remington ball - but for my S&W model 39, it just goggles up Remington JHP - mixed results in my lugers with this. Fiochi is under-powered to me, but I have not shot much in 9mm Ed
