Hornady TAP Barrier 5.56 NATO

Description

Product Overview

Hornady TAP Barrier 5.56 NATO ammunition uses a 70-grain GMX hollow-point bullet constructed from a tough copper alloy for high weight retention and deep penetration after passing through common urban barriers. The load is engineered for patrol carbines, vehicle engagements, and other tactical applications where reliable performance through cover is important. It features match-grade brass, a sealed and staked primer, temperature-stable powder, and loading to 5.56 NATO specifications. The recommended rifling twist rate is 1:7, and this ammunition is intended for 5.56 NATO chambers only, not .223 Remington chambers.
