The 55Gn polymer tip bullets have performed very well in police shootings. The 60GN would probably be even better due to their slightly deeper penetration.
Except when Bad guy is hiding behind something.
Hornady 55 and 60 grain TAP is nothing more than a varmit bullet. Rapid fragmentation.
A shooting in Texas involved police using Winchester's version of TAP.
BG took cover inside his car. He was peppered with bullet fragments but nothing that stopped him. A .40 cal pistol bullet made it through the door and stopped him. Since then, my agency switched to bonded ammo.
I'm curious to know ...
What "Winchester version" of TAP are you referring to?
During the incident that you mentioned, what grain bullet was used?
Given that the question is about HD, have you considered the fact that
car doors aren't made of sheetrock?
Regardless, I doubt that anyone would be willing to "take cover" behind an interior wall, or door, or other object in a home as a 60gr TAP round is launched in their general direction, and then go on to suggest that it's "nothing more than a varmint bullet".
The point being ... much as I tend to stay pretty close to 'the list" ... even though 60gr TAP isn't on it, I'd have no problem using that round with confidence for HD.
