That's it really, unless you're a police department then you're mostly SOL.

I gave a Hornady rep an earful over the situation at the NRA show, although he was utterly clueless.

I must be missing something... I have about 500 rounds at home... I'm not LEO... And I find it pretty much anywhere....

Are you specifically looking for the red boxed stuff rather than the black boxed TAP "FPD"? According to Molon, they are essentially the same, and the black box is available all over.

He's talking about the 5.56 pressure TAP not the .223 pressure TAP.

.223 TAP easy to get 5.56 TAP not so much.

It's not on the website at all at the moment, in or out of stock.

Hornady superperformance =/= TAP

You didn't specify until now. Check the equipment exchange.

Why don't you try it yourself and then let us know where you find it in stock for sale outside of LE.
The ignorance displayed by your post make ME laugh.

As mentioned earlier in the thread, the Superformance is not the same as TAP at all.

Finding it outside of LE sales is hit and miss IF he had GOOGLE it then he would have learned that.

BVAC and HSM both make 5.56 75gr loads. Does anybody have any experience, or know how comparable they may be?

Pricey? Yes.

5.56mm TAP? Yes.

5.56 TAP GTG out of a 14.5" carbine gas system?
I know the Superformance 75gr was blowing primers if used in anything but a rifle length system.

I believe I recall reading where Molon determined it would reliably fragment out to 46m from a 10.5", if that is of any benefit to you.
