hornady tap question (of the 308 variety)

[kenndapp]

what is the difference between tap 155gr LE and tap 155gr FPD? ...besides different color boxes and different color cases. is it velocity? sealant? flash retarder? the both use AMAX bullets....correct? i ask because i am running out of 155gr LE (AMAX) which my riffle loves, and wanted to know if i can use the FPD interchangeably because the FPD is often found easier. i have been searching the net for a while now with no avail.

Nobody can tell me if the 155gr FPD uses amax bullets like its LE counterpart?

Hornady's website lists the Amax and the TAP FPD as two separate bullets. I have no idea honestly, but they are listed separately.

Not to sound like a smart ass, but have you asked Hornady?

I've e-mailed them LE ammo questions before and gotten an answer in a day or two.

[kenndapp]

Yes. Email sent out Sunday asking the same question I'm asking here. No response back yet.

[tpd223]

I'm going to guess there is some SHOT Show lag to deal with right now.

Hornady has been very helpful in product details, and even some hair-splitting at times. Give them a call.
