Hornady taP AMMO
What kind of powder is in Hornady TAP ammo?
I am asking because of the advertised low flash content.
For pistol, rifle and shotgun.

I haven't a clue, but it's good stuff. I have and use several different calibers of TAP.

Re: Hornady taP AMMO
maybe an additive for the low flash????
Re: Hornady taP AMMO
probably just a flash inhibitor like in most military loads.

Wolly, were can we find these placebos?
Re: Hornady taP AMMO
potassium sulfate is a common inhibitor. I wouldnt go trying to blend your own though.

How bout the fancy smansy black case?
Looks like it has some type of coating on it as well.

All that will occur is increased pressure necessitating that the load be modified (reduced). The end-user will probably have no clue what they are doing to get flattened/pierced primers. +1 to your advice!Wollychop wrote:potassium sulfate is a common inhibitor.

Flash suppressant usually necessitates that velocity suffer.

Oddly, my P226 Elite ST (sold) would NOT extract nickle-plated ammunition. I shot Speer GDHP and Ranger T through it and got 20-50% FTE's. Both are expensive, and ranger T is individually hand-inspected. It would shoot regular brass and cheap aluminum cased Blazer all day long. It torqued me off. I sold it after sending it back and having SIG polish things up. They said they shot a 50-round box of GDHP and it was G2G. Just something wierd I experienced.jmz5 wrote:The case is nickel coated, supposed to make it feed easier.
*This was the result of shooting it clean, dirty, new, and after 800+ rounds had been fired. Wet, dry, whatever. Limp-wristing, vice-grip hold. Jammed more it seemed when I held it TIGHT.

Everyone puts out a lemon once in a while, it just sucks when you are the one who gets it.

Yep that must be it. I have a Sig 226 Platinum Elite and it shoots everything you feed it. I have never had FTF in over 1000 rounds in either the .40sw it came with or the .357sig I converted it to.jmz5 wrote:Everyone puts out a lemon once in a while, it just sucks when you are the one who gets it.

I just shot 20 rounds of the TAPs out of my new FNP-40 and they fed easy (as far as you can tell, for how fast it ejects and feeds a new one in). They did seem to load into the mag easier than the Magtechs and the Herters that I shot up on Sunday. I just noticed a lot of copper fragments in the gun after the 20 rounds. Took me over an hour to clean it up, but that was also after 50 rounds of Herter's brass though it also. I LOVE MY NEW FNP-40. :guns:
