Custom Barnes 110 Tac-X bullets

Post by 300Blk »

Barnes has a special run of 110 Tac-X which were manufactured in a way to lower the expansion velocity threshold.

Do you have a part number?

I just spoke with Barnes. The gal from orders had no idea, so she forwarded me on to tech support. He didn't know either, and forwarded me on to one of their engineers.

The engineer is doing some digging for me, as he didn't know where the bullets they produced ended up. Nice guy. He walked me through the development and explained the range of these bullets will expand at.

The gentlemen I talked with said that, if his memory serves him correctly, it was from 1500fps to 2200fps.

Whatever the normal one does, this one does a few hundred fps lower.

I would love an open tipped bullet that would expand at subsonic velocities.
