History and Development

Hornady has long been recognized as one of the leading innovators in ammunition design, producing a wide range of cartridges for hunting, self-defense, and law enforcement. Their TAP (Tactical Application Police) line was specifically engineered to give law enforcement professionals dependable and effective duty ammunition that performs consistently under real-world conditions.

The TAP Training series was later developed to provide a cost-effective solution for agencies and shooters who wanted to practice extensively without expending premium duty rounds. By maintaining the ballistic characteristics of TAP duty loads while using efficient production processes, Hornady ensured that the training line would offer the same point of aim and reliability. The 75-grain boat tail bullet used in this cartridge was selected for its stability and accuracy, aligning closely with duty performance while remaining an economical choice for large-scale training.
