Barnes M/LE TAC-XP Pistol Bullets .40 cal .400" 155 gr FB HP 40/ct

The Barnes M/LE TAC-XP Pistol Bullets .40 caliber 155 grain Flat Base Hollow Point are engineered specifically for law enforcement and tactical defensive shooters who demand reliable, lead-free ammunition. These projectiles are manufactured from 100% copper construction without lead bodies, meeting strict environmental and range compliance requirements while delivering consistent ballistic performance across duty and training scenarios.

The TAC-XP platform delivers full weight retention through impact, a critical factor in .40 caliber defensive loads where controlled expansion and penetration balance is essential. At 155 grains, this bullet weight sits in the mid-range for .40 S&W, providing moderate recoil impulse while maintaining sufficient velocity for reliable expansion from standard service pistols. The flat base hollow point design ensures straight, predictable flight characteristics and supports the consistency required for accuracy-focused shooters. Available in 40-count boxes, the TAC-XP integrates into existing handload protocols or serves as a finished round component for ammunition manufacturers.

This ammunition is purpose-built for duty pistols, including Glock, Smith & Wesson M&P, and similar service-class frames chambered in .40 caliber. Range training, qualification courses, and personal defense applications all benefit from the copper construction's durability and the hollow point's controlled expansion characteristics. Agencies and private security operators choosing lead-free ammunition for range, training facility, or environmental compliance find the Barnes TAC-XP a direct equivalent to traditional .40 defensive loads.

Barnes has established a reputation for performance-driven projectile design in both rifle and pistol applications. The TAC-XP line represents the company's commitment to delivering non-toxic alternatives without compromise in ballistic function, making it a standard choice for agencies with mandated lead-free requirements and shooters who prioritize environmental responsibility alongside terminal performance.
