Barnes M/LE TAC-XP Pistol Bullets .44 Spl .429" 200 gr TAC XP 40/ct

The Barnes M/LE TAC-XP Pistol Bullets in .44 Spl .429" 200 gr are purpose-built projectiles engineered for law enforcement, tactical shooters, and serious pistol handloaders. Manufactured from 100% copper construction without lead bodies, these hollow-point rounds deliver controlled expansion while maintaining weight retention through intermediate barriers—a critical performance characteristic for duty and defensive applications where barrier penetration must be balanced against over-penetration risk.

The 200-grain .429" projectile loaded into the .44 Special cartridge produces moderate recoil impulses while developing sufficient velocity for reliable expansion in flesh and light barrier scenarios. The TAC-XP design incorporates Barnes' proprietary hollow-point cavity geometry, which initiates expansion at typical duty distances (7–25 yards) while the copper matrix resists fragmentation. Lead-free composition ensures compliance with environmental regulations and facility requirements common to law enforcement ranges and indoor shooting operations where lead exposure is a concern.

This ammunition is suited for handloaders who specify Barnes TAC-XP bullets for custom .44 Special loads and for operators running .44 Spl revolvers or converted platforms in tactical contexts. The 40-round box count supports range training cycles and personal defense load development. Shooters chambering the .44 Special will find these bullets compatible with standard press equipment and powders typically employed in mid-to-heavy .44 loads, making them a practical choice for those seeking premium, lead-free duty ammunition.
