Barnes built the TAC-XP M/LE for handloaders who want a defensive projectile with real barrier performance. These are solid copper hollow points measuring .400 in diameter, weighing 140 grains, and they drop into either 10mm Auto or 40 S&W brass. Because there's no lead core to come apart, the bullet stays in one piece and hangs onto nearly all of its original weight through the fight.
The lead-free construction isn't just about meeting lead-free range requirements, though these do fit right in at indoor ranges where that matters. The all-copper body is the reason the bullet tracks so straight after it hits something hard. Barnes originally developed this projectile for law enforcement use, where rounds sometimes have to drive through car doors, windshield glass, and plywood before reaching their mark. The TAC-XP expands reliably and keeps its nose pointed forward instead of deflecting or fragmenting.
These have a flat base and no cannelure, with an overall bullet length of .682 inches, a .128 ballistic coefficient, and a .125 sectional density. Like most Barnes monolithic copper bullets, they tend to shoot best when you give them a little jump and start with Barnes' published load data. A light taper crimp from a quality die helps keep things seated under the recoil of a stout 10mm load. Work up carefully and you'll land on a consistent, accurate defensive round.
If you reload for a 10mm or 40 and want a carry-worthy projectile you built yourself, the TAC-XP M/LE is one of the most trusted options out there. The copper construction gives you deep, straight penetration and dependable expansion, and the box of 40 is a handy count for working up loads or topping off your defensive stash. Keep in mind these are component bullets, not loaded ammunition.
These are component bullets only, not finished ammunition. You'll need your own brass, primers, and powder to load them. They're meant for reloaders building their own 10mm Auto or 40 S&W cartridges.
Yes. At .400 diameter and 140 grains, this projectile works for both 10mm Auto and 40 S&W since they share the same bullet diameter. Just be sure to use the correct load data for whichever cartridge you're building.
Like most Barnes all-copper bullets, they respond well to following Barnes' published overall length and giving them a bit of jump rather than seating tight to the lands. A light taper crimp from a quality die helps keep the bullet put under recoil, which matters with a hot 10mm load. Always start low and work up while checking your overall length.
The solid copper build means there's no lead core to separate, so the bullet holds nearly all of its weight and drives straight after hitting barriers like auto glass, plywood, or sheet metal. That's exactly why Barnes developed it for law enforcement and personal defense. It's also a solid fit for lead-free indoor ranges.
