223 REM 75 GR. 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 barreled rifle that has either a 
223 Rem or 5.56 NATO chamber. The 75 gr. bullet offers deeper 
penetration than the 55 gr. and 60 gr. TAP Urban® bullets. 
The 75 gr. 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.

223 REM 62 GR. 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.

Application:  Precision
Hornady® TAP Precision® rifle loads offer reliable functioning, low 
muzzle signature and exceptional accuracy – even at extended 
range. 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.
