45 ACP - 230 Grain FMJ - Tula - 50 Rounds

This newly manufactured 45 Auto ammunition is PERFECT for target practice, range training, or plinking. It is both economical and reliable and is produced by one of the most established ammunition plants in the world. Tula ammunition derives its name from its birthplace, the Tula Cartridge Works in Tula, Russia. The Tula Cartridge Works was founded in 1880 and is currently one of the largest ammunition manufacturing plants in the world. The Tula name has gained a following worldwide for its rugged, reliable, and economical product. This cartridge complies with CIP requirements and the casing features a polymer-coated steel casing with a non-corrosive Boxer Primer. The projectile features a bimetal jacket (contains steel and copper) and a lead core resulting in excellent ballistics characteristics. Muzzle Velocity: 850 fps Max Pressure: 19,900 psi

7.62x39 - 122 Grain FMJ - Red Army Standard - 20 Rounds

The AK-47 is an alarmingly fun weapon to fire. “THRAKKETY THRAKKETY THRAK THRAK THRAK” it goes as you pump a torrent of lead and copper out of its barrel. Such amusement can quickly rack up a high ammo bill -- unless you’re firing Red Army Standard, that is. As it is manufactured by Tula in Russia, 7.62x39 round features a steel shell casing, an economical alternative to brass which is tethered to unpredictable copper prices. It may not seal the chamber as well as brass, and it may also be a poor choice for handloading, but steel’s accessible price tag totally makes those shortcomings worthwhile. This round’s casing is coated with corrosion resistant polymer which helps a semi-auto feed and extract efficiently. This round’s 122 grain bullet weighs only one grain less than the original M43 bullet. You’ll notice little difference in its ballistic performance, and you’ll appreciate how its jacket is hard enough to promote optimal feeding yet soft enough to prevent lead fouling without damaging the bore’s riflings.
