Application:  Entry, Patrol  |  Meets FBI Protocol*
TAP Patrol® is specifically designed to provide consistent and 
reliable performance through the FBI protocol when fired 
with 14.5"– 16" (368 – 406 mm) barrelled 1:7" – 1:9" (1:178 
– 1:229 mm) twist patrol rifles. The lead free bullet features 
a flat polymer tip, which allows it to provide “barrier blind” 
performance ensuring consistent penetration depths. The 
flat tip design ensures the bullet will not plug with material 
from the barriers and ensures feeding through the wide 
variety of patrol rifle platforms. TAP Patrol® ammunition 
is loaded with temperature stable, low flash propellant 
designed to work when you do.

223 REM 55 GR. (3,6 g) TAP URBAN®
NO. 83276
Application:  Entry
The Hornady® 223 Rem 55 gr. (3,6 g) TAP Urban® is the 
preferred choice for use in Short Barreled Rifle. (SBRs), 
carbines, and rifles when the probability for barrier 
penetration is low. Rapid expansion provides dramatic 
wound cavities, massive fragmentation, and prevents over 
penetration on non-barrier engagements. These factors 
make this bullet a great choice when collateral risk is high.
