Best Ammo for CPX 2 ?

[sccytoter]

I have a brand new gun and I only have a box of 1000 TulAmmo steel case 115 FMJ

Do you think these will be okay to "break in" the gun?

SCCy CPX-2

I have ran about 50 or so rounds of Tula through my newest CPX, and it ran ok...dirty ammo though. I do not like to give any gun I have, except for ComBloc ones, a steady diet of steel cased ammo...I just mix it in and shoot some of it up, but the ComBloc guns pretty much get a steady diet of steel cased.

Tula ammo is steel case not recommended by sccy. Tula has history of overloaded ammo in the past(it can blowup your pistol if you get one bad round).Stick to brass case only for safety.I used tula in the past i do not recommend it from past experience (rifle blown up by tula ammo-not fun to happen blind in one eye from it) Good shooting.

Thanls guys

Wish I had not bought a whole case of 1000 rounds of Tula

It was a cheap sale

ANd since it is illegal at my range I have to snake around and use it "hiding" and looking over my shoulder every 2 minutes to see if the employees are coming

I just put the first 50 rounds through my cpx2 tonight with no failure of any kind. I got a box of estate 9mm luger 115g when I bought the gun. I was a little worried, but it fired flawlessly. I just bought a box of 100 Winchester 115g at Wal-Mart. So I'll see how those do next.

Th last time I bought ammo at Walmart the employee gave me this look like they thought I was a scumbag for buying 9mm ammo

So now I buy only on the Internet. Plus its cheaper.

Oh you got a keeper then.
Normally the SCCY... will lets say fluck-up every now again till she seated in.
Once the frame rails becomes rounded she'll run smoooother.

Just to add, that is even with the recoil not having the washer on the end

What? Why would they look at you like that?

[baxter513]

THis looks like a good deal 1000 rounds for $151 + $21.52 shipping

$171.52 total and the ammo is well reviewed. But nobody has spoken if it runs good on the CPX-2?

Im not sure. Probably they are liberals

If guns where outlawed...only outlaws would have guns.

Who cares what that employee thinks? Their job only exists because you purchase the product they have for sale. You, and other buyers, are responsible for them being employed.

And 17.3 cents per round for brass case ammo sounds like a pretty good deal.

Baxter is there another range you could go to? The one now probably sells the brass and doesn't want to pick out the steel cases. If you told another range that you only had steel, they might sweep one position, let you shoot all steel, then sweep up the steel and trash it. If not, they would not get your lane fee, and you just go back to what you were doing at the first range. This might work if the second range was not busy (early or late, off day?).

[baxter513]

Yeah, I sas thinking that if I get caught with the Tula that I will just play stupid. I am more concerned about the Tula harming my firearm than about the range "catching me". One thing for sure I wont buy anymore Tula, its not worth it to save a couple dollars per box.

Its smokes up the indoor rage, you can see sparks come out of the barrel of the gun when you shoot it (like 4th of July) and it dirties up the gun to where I would not shoot more than 50 rounds per trip on a gun full of Tula

I have the SCCY CPX-2 or Taurus 111 Millenium G2 for EDC, and mouse gun Taurus TCP 738 for my lazy EDC.

Canik TP9SF as my car gun. I shoot all of these at every range visit.

I had an entire box of Tula .380 ACP, that I ran through my Ruger LCP yesterday. It ran 100%, but your right about the sparks. I don't like the silver colored Bi-metal bullet though. Hope it ain't hard on the barrels.
