(4,9 g) TAP PRECISION® NO. 80265 Application: Precision This match accurate load is our heavy TAP® offering in 223 Rem. This load is suitable for a short barrelled rifle that has either a 223 Rem or 5,56X45 NATO chamber. The 75 gr. (4,9 g) bullet offers deeper penetration than the 55 gr. (3,6 g) and 60 gr. (3,9 g) TAP Urban® bullets. The 75 gr. (4,9 g) BTHP penetrates with minimal deflection and provides rapid fragmentation, thus delivering more energy to the target. This bullet generates very large and consistent wound cavities, serving as an ideal choice for 223 Rem precision rifle applications. BARE GELATIN Bullet: 75 gr. (4,9 g) BTHP TAP® BC: 0,395 SD: 0,214 Muzzle Velocity: 775 m/s Barrel: 406 mm Firearm: DPMS Twist Rate: 1:178 mm Total Penetration: 318 mm Max. Cavity: 133 mm Depth to Max. Cav.: 127 mm Entry: 25,4 mm Retained Weight: 1,7 g 223 REM 62 GR. (4,0 g) TAP® BARRIER™ NO. 83285 Application: Patrol TAP ® Barrier™ turns cover into concealment. Hornady® originally developed this ammunition to meet the requirement for a high-speed, barrier penetrating bullet that could be used for nuclear power plant security. The design of the TAP® Barrier™ round allows the projectile to maintain its structural integrity while punching through barriers, yet still initiates expansion in soft tissue. Ideal application for open air and steel door engagements. BARE GELATIN Bullet: 62 gr.

These precision loads provide outstanding terminal performance with a low risk of over-penetration due to their enhanced expansion characteristics. The polymer-tipped variants provide high ballistic coefficients that optimize long-range accuracy and expansion. The TAP Precision® line is particularly well-suited for SWAT precision marksmen who demand accuracy in critical situations. BARE GELATIN Bullet: 73 gr. (4,7 g) TAP Precision® BC: 0,398 SD: 0,208 Muzzle Velocity: 789 m/s Barrel: 406 mm Firearm: DPMS Twist Rate: 1:178 mm Total Penetration: 305 mm Max. Cavity: 114 mm Depth to Max.
