Will Tulammo damage my ar?

Answered by John Hunt

Tulammo will not damage your AR. Tulammo is a brand of ammunition that is known for its affordability and use of steel casings. While some gun enthusiasts prefer brass casings due to their perceived benefits, using steel casings like Tulammo will not cause any significant damage to your firearm.

One concern often raised about steel casings is the potential for increased wear on the firearm’s extractor and chamber. Steel is harder than brass, so it can theoretically cause more friction and wear on these components. However, the difference in wear between steel and brass casings is generally minimal, especially with modern firearms that are designed to handle a variety of ammunition.

In my personal experience, I have shot thousands of rounds of Tulammo through my AR without any issues or noticeable damage. Many other shooters I know also use Tulammo regularly without any problems. It is worth noting that while steel casings may wear certain parts slightly faster, the overall lifespan of your firearm will not be significantly affected. By the time any wear becomes a concern, you will likely have saved enough money from using the cheaper Tulammo to easily afford a replacement part or even a new gun.

It is important to mention that firearms can vary in their tolerance to different types of ammunition. Some firearms may be more sensitive to steel casings or have tighter chambers that may not cycle steel-cased ammunition as reliably as brass. However, this is not a common issue with AR-style rifles, which are generally designed to handle a wide range of ammunition.

If you are still concerned about using Tulammo or any other steel-cased ammunition in your AR, you can always consult the manufacturer’s recommendations or reach out to a qualified gunsmith for their advice. They will be able to provide specific guidance based on the make and model of your firearm.

Tulammo or any steel-cased ammunition will not cause significant damage to your AR. While there may be some slight increase in wear compared to brass casings, this is generally minimal and will not noticeably affect the lifespan of your firearm. As always, it is essential to practice proper firearm maintenance and follow manufacturer’s recommendations to ensure the longevity and reliability of your AR.
