Barnes M/LE TAC-XP Pistol Bullets .44 Spl .429" 200 gr TAC XP 40/ct
$44.91
Barnes M/LE TAC-XP pistol bullets deliver serious performance for reloaders building defensive and tactical loads. These .44 Special rounds feature a 200-grain .429" projectile engineered for the kind of barrier performance and reliability that law enforcement and serious shooters demand. Built from 100 percent copper with no lead core, they meet strict environmental standards while offering the consistent ballistics and terminal characteristics that make them a legitimate choice for those who reload for personal defense.
The TAC-XP design is built to perform after hitting real-world obstacles. Unlike conventional bullets that fragment or deflect unpredictably, these round straight and true through the barriers you might actually encounter—windshield glass, plywood, sheet metal, and vehicle doors. That barrier-blind performance means your shot placement matters more than luck, and your load performs consistently regardless of what's between you and the target.
Lead-free construction appeals to reloaders who prioritize environmental responsibility without compromising on performance. Each box contains 40 projectiles, giving you enough bullets to work up a solid load for your .44 Special revolver or single-action wheelgun. If you're serious about reloading defensive ammunition or building accurate practice loads, the M/LE TAC-XP gives you a bullet designed by a maker that understands what shooters actually need.

Frequently Asked Questions
What firearms can I use these bullets in?
These .44 Special projectiles are sized at .429" diameter for .44 Special revolvers and compatible single-action firearms chambered in that caliber. Always verify that your specific firearm is appropriate for handloading and that you follow safe reloading practices.
Are these bullets suitable for home defense or personal protection loads?
These bullets were designed with law enforcement and tactical applications in mind, and their barrier-penetration characteristics make them relevant for defensive reloading. However, all reloading decisions are the shooter's responsibility—consult published load data and ballistic testing before committing any load to defensive use.
Why does the lead-free construction matter?
Lead-free bullets meet environmental regulations and reduce lead exposure during reloading and shooting. If you shoot frequently in indoor ranges or have environmental concerns, copper-based projectiles are a responsible choice without sacrificing performance.
How many rounds will one box make?
Each box contains 40 bullets, so one box will produce 40 loaded rounds when you have primers, powder, and brass in hand.
