5.56 Hornady TAP 75gr. BTHP T2 Ammo

Yup, the good stuff (8126N). Just a head's up that ammunitiontogo has this back in stock and I just ordered a bunch.

Good stuff indeed. I just did some extensive grouping with a wide variety of ammo. The Hornady 5.56 75 grainers are every bit as good as their Match 75, slightly different bullet profile.
-Match-- a classic BTHP, long ogive
-FPD- shorter ogive, longer shank, HP tip rolled over ever so slightly for better feeding
5.56-- same pill as FPD but with cannelure.

All three are top notch stuff and the Match will probably do better in a 600 yard match due to BC and ogive but the FPD and 5.56 are the ticket for anything else.

Edited to correct m'self-- both the FPD and 5.56 have cannelures. Ogives are ever so slightly different between FPD and 5.56.

I just received 400 rounds of 8126N yesterday from ATG.

Lucky. Mine won't be here for another week. I'll have twice as much though!

I just saw these on gunbroker and was very surprised. Don't ever recall anyone selling them (5.56) in such a manner. All that I have I purchased from a police officer I befriended on TOS a few years ago.


After 3 years, I have shot 4 of 800 rounds.

Good stuff! Thats for sure.

I just spent way too much on these. bought 600 last week and bought another 1600 yesterday. If they are still in next week I'll probobly get more.

[Safetyhit]

If ammo keeps going up, at the very least they are a good investment. Think I should get some more, but I have enough for now I suppose.

Has anyone here tested them at 200+ out of a 1/9 barrel?

Not the 5.56 but the FPD and they would key hole and be all over the silhouette. I really like the 62gr TBBC and BH 68gr match for 1/9. I don't have a 1/9 anymore just 1/7, 1/8 and 1/12. YMMV
