Tula Ammo - SERIOUS ISSUE

I have shot thousands of rounds of Tula in 9x18, 9x19, .45, 7.63x39, 7.62x51, .30 Carbine, and 7.62x54R, without a single issue I can recall. It is not bad ammo at all, but some may have slipped through by a bad QC. It would be interesting to know if all the problems have been with a single lot or shipment.
 
Just to put things in perspective, I've shot sub 500 rounds of Tula and these 3 incidents have came up. Regardless of the surplus or not, or price point as most of us would justify with, safety should be on point to be sold.
 
It's not just a chamber issue in the m305 it happend to 3 différent Guns Ive shot multiple Times.. I have changed extractors and almost had to be a twoface villain
 
Ive read about a few failures with the Tulla ammo when its used on the m14, I just bought one yesterday and will definately try not to get any tula ammo for it. Glad there was no serious injuries. Youd think Norinco would get there $hit together and make sure these guns had the proper headspacing before they left the factories.
Does anyone know how to tell if the ammo is tula when its still in the crate?

All issues have been with Russian ammo. Fire a few rounds of brass ammo with the gas valve off. Send them to me and I can give you an idea of your headspace.

Does the gas have to be turned off? Would the reading be that inaccurate if the system was on?
 
Tulammo is case sized to spec, totally a head space issue I think. Brass is much more forgiving obviously, so big headspace goes unnoticed by many.
I too have blasted 1000's of tulammo rounds, not even 1 dud.
 
You guys have to read the post more carefully before going Bill Nye the science guy on the reply. Savage 10 VLP (Blew the extractor twice, never with over 300 rounds of norinco ammo), Remington 700 (Blew the extractor violently and stopped using it and now seriously failing on a M305.
 
So let me get this straight, you had catastrophic failures on one rifle, decided to try again on another rifle and when that blew up hey why not try a third?
I'm not sure who screwed up more, the people who manufactured the ammo or the people who kept shooting it.
 
The broken case can be removed from the barrel. Carefully inspect the rifle for damage. Don't shoot any more of that batch of ammunition; you've experienced three failures in three different rifles.
 
Wolf ammo is garbage...

Blowing on extractor should have tipped you off. I dont know why someone would run that crap in a rifle equipped with a competition barrel or any precision rig... Feed those beast some quality ammo please.

As for the m305 problem... They have huge chambers that really doesnt help when using crappy wolf ammo.

Glad no one got injured, I suggest tossing this ammo (in a safe manner)
