About This Hornady 223 Remington Ammunition

Are you a cop? Then we don’t need to supply you with Hornady’s TAP Patrol 223 Rem ammunition. You can get that easily enough. Instead, we’ll only ask you to please abstain from writing us speeding tickets. If we’re ever in a hurry, then it’s only because we have to attend to pressing AmmoMan.com business.

Are you not a cop? Then it’s a good thing we got this real, authentic duty ammunition from a police trade-in, because that means we can outfit you with some of the finest AR-15 ammo for home defense on the market!

This round is loaded with a 53 grain TAP Patrol bullet; technically a flat-nose Copper alloy eXpanding (CX). The polymer-tipped monolithic is robust enough to stab through barriers without shedding serious weight as a result, and its tip plugs its nose cavity to keep it free and clear of debris that would have hindered terminal expansion. When subjected to the heavy fabric module of the FBI’s test protocol, the 53gr CX penetrates to an average depth of 16.5”, expands to a diameter of 0.46”, and retains just shy of 90% of its weight. In other words, essentially optimal terminal ballistics for personal defense.
