Sambar,
The TAP Barrier ammo was designed to defeat specific barriers and still penetrate sufficiently where conventional bullets without the barrier considerations generally fail.
Tap Barrier in it's current form is "Good stuff" as long as the considerations of the contract client are present.
Those considerations do NOT exist outside of a small percentage of L.E. deadly force scenarios, and the clients "Atmosphere".
Unless you are the client in question, or a SWAT cop, look elsewhere for better performing ammo.
This load is really a narrowly defined number.
Listen to Tatjana.
The Broad spectrum ammo is 100% a better choice for 99% of the folks out there.
Besides, the stuff on the market now, is what has been rejected and replaced in favor of a better load for that .01% client.
I have full access to both, and choose another loading off duty if it means anything.
