Description
The Tula Ammunition Plant has been in operation since 1880. That means it has been chugging along since the time of the czars, right through the communist era, and onward into the modern age. It’s no wonder how they were able to do so; It seems as though no matter what kind of government is in charge, it will still need ammunition. Isn’t it funny how that is?
rOf course, Tula has managed to learn a few things about making ammunition in that time. For starters, they can produce a far more cost-effective cartridge when they make its casing out of steel. That along with this 308 Win cartridge’s Berdan primer makes it wholly inappropriate for handloading, but hey — suppose you weren’t going to handload anyway? This round’s casing is coated with polymer to protect it from tarnishing and make it easier for your rifle to extract, and its 150 grain zinc coated bullet flies more accurately than Tula’s earlier bi-metal one could have.
