Hornady TAP Barrier 5.56 NATO

Description

Product Overview

Hornady 5.56 NATO 55-grain GMX TAP Barrier ammunition is designed for reliable performance when intermediate barriers are a concern. Its monolithic gilding metal hollow point bullet is lead-free, reduces fouling compared with pure copper, and uses a cannelure for consistent projectile performance. The load uses a temperature-stable powder with flash retardant, a sealed small rifle milspec primer, and a staked primer pocket. This ammunition is intended for firearms chambered specifically in 5.56 NATO and is not for use in 223 Remington chambered firearms.
