The Hornady T.A.P 62gr barrier .223 Remington was originally designed for Nuclear power plant security as a round capable of penetrating intermediate barriers like windshields and vehicle side panels, while still maintaining optimum terminal performance in soft tissue. Hornady TAP barrier ammunition is loaded to the highest quality standards, from the polished brass case, to the 62gr TAP projectile and all the powder and primer in between. Hornady is known for producing some of the most accurate, and reliable ammunition for competition, duty, and home defense use. The Hornday TAP 62gr barrier .223 will penetrate barriers and still expand in soft tissue which is perfect for virtually any situation where a carbine or partrol rifle would be deployed and lives may be on the line.
