Deep Dive

This cartridge delivers rapid expansion and significant fragmentation, minimizing over-penetration risk and making it ideal for scenarios where bystander safety is critical.

History and Development
Hornady has built its reputation as a leader in innovative ammunition, with a long history of producing cartridges trusted by hunters, competitive shooters, and law enforcement worldwide. The company’s TAP (Tactical Application Police) line was specifically designed to meet the needs of law enforcement officers by delivering specialized loads that maximize performance for mission-specific roles.
The 6.5 Creedmoor TAP Urban was developed to provide law enforcement and tactical shooters with an alternative to .308 Winchester in situations where barrier penetration was not required. By pairing the inherently high ballistic coefficient of the 6.5 Creedmoor with a lightweight, 100-grain polymer-tipped projectile, Hornady created a load that expands rapidly, fragments effectively, and minimizes collateral risk. The design reflects Hornady’s commitment to producing ammunition tailored for precise tactical use while offering exceptional accuracy and shootability.
