Hornady GMX TAP Patrol 5.56 NATO

Description

Product Overview

Hornady TAP Patrol 5.56 NATO ammunition uses a 53 grain lead-free GMX copper alloy bullet with a flat polymer tip and cannelure. The projectile is designed for consistent penetration through common intermediate barriers while maintaining reliable feeding across patrol rifle platforms. This load uses temperature-stable, low-flash propellant, a sealed small rifle mil-spec primer, and a staked primer pocket. It is optimized for patrol rifles with 14.5 to 16 inch barrels and rifling twists from 1:7 to 1:10.
