BTT, I'm curious to know whether or not this stuff is unsafe to shoot in my AR-10, I'd just go pull a bullet myself except that i'm out of it right now and i'm don't forsee buying anymore for a while. Anyone with some .308 TAP, do me a favor and pull a bullet for me, pretty please.

The AMAX do not have a cannelure but the Barrier (InterBond bullet) does. All of the AMAX bullet are a match bullet with boat tails except for the 110 grain.
Edited to add that I use the 168 TAP in an AR-10T and the 155 in an A4 with out any issues, including set back. |

Thanks, so I gather from your reply that the TAP loads don't have a cannelure, but I shouldn't be concerned with setback anyways.

Bump for more info. I thought they/TAP .308 155gr A-MAX had the cannelure.

Nope, they are match bullets and none of the AMAXs have one. I have not had any set back issues in about 1K rounds...so no I would'nt worry about it. |

Do the interbond bullets exhibit the same good terminal performance as the AMAX's do?

No, they are mainly a hunting bullet but since there is no fragmentation and the bullet holds together well Hornady uses it as a glass buster. This bullet DOES have a cannelure and it holds together VERY well. I tested all of the TAP rounds in .308 through various types of glass. Long story short, the Barrier went through 3/4 thick shop glass with the "chicken" wire and the bullet struck the wire and did not change it's POI. Good stuff....
