Barnes M/LE TAC-XP Pistol Bullets .380 ACP .355" 80 gr FB HP 40/ct
Barnes M/LE TAC-XP pistol bullets in .380 ACP are purpose-built for serious shooters who demand reliable barrier-penetration performance and terminal consistency. Loaded with a 80-grain flat-base hollow point, these rounds are manufactured from 100% copper — no lead core — making them an environmentally compliant choice for indoor ranges, tactical training, and carry loads where lead-free ammunition matters. Whether you're reloading for personal defense, law enforcement qualification, or tactical practice, the TAC-XP line delivers controlled expansion and straight-flying performance without compromise.
Built to exacting standards, these .355" bullets are engineered to maintain their original weight through intermediate barriers like auto glass, plywood, and steel — a real-world consideration for defensive shooters. The flat-base hollow point design promotes reliable feeding in semi-automatic platforms while supporting predictable ballistics downrange. Each box contains 40 components, giving you a solid load for building a matched set of defensive or training rounds.
Reloading your own .380 ammunition opens the door to experimenting with powder charges, primers, and case combinations that suit your specific pistol and shooting goals. Barnes bullets are trusted by reloaders serious about precision and terminal performance. If you're handloading for a compact or subcompact .380, starting with quality bullets means your entire reload will be that much better.
