Question for Mr. Camp.

Have you done any testing with the new Hornady TAP (the ones with the black cases)? If not are there any plane to do so?
Hello. No, sir, I have not done so...yet. I will get around to it, but have several irons in the fire. From what I've seen and read, the primary difference is the case. I was told by Hornady a few months back that the XTP bullet in the 9mm is precisely the same as in their other "Custom" line of ammunition. The Custom and "old" TAP in 9mm that I tried were equivalent insofar as I could tell: accurate, reliable, and with the bullet going to the usual 1.5 x original diameter. I really like the XTP bullet, though I think I'm in the minority on that. I will do the TAP when I can. Part of the problem is that the last gun store in my city closed and I'm not a big one for driving when I can avoid it. I also have to buy my own ammunition 99% of the time
and have to have the spare sheckels to spend.
Best and take care.
