Hornady Tap Entry 12 Gauge Ammunition 2 3/4" 3/4 oz Frangible Slug - 86245
Hornady’s TAP Entry 12 Gauge ammunition is designed for specialized close-quarters use where control and safety are priorities. The 3/4 oz frangible sintered slug is engineered to disintegrate upon impact with hard surfaces, reducing the risk of over-penetration and minimizing ricochet hazards. This makes it particularly well-suited for tactical entry, breaching, and controlled training environments. By combining multiple functions into a single load, TAP Entry allows users to maintain effectiveness while improving overall safety.
Features and Specifications:
- Projectile Design: ¾ oz frangible sintered slug designed to break apart on impact with hard surfaces, reducing the risk of ricochet and over-penetration
- Enhanced Safety: Frangible projectile minimizes risk of ricochet, making it suitable for training and defensive use in populated areas.
- Tactical Application: Perfect for law enforcement and tactical operations requiring controlled penetration.
- Versatility: Suitable for a variety of shotguns chambered for 12-gauge 2 3/4" shells.
- Packaging: Available in 5-round boxes or 100-round cases (20 boxes per case), with free shipping available on bulk case purchases through Target Sports USA
