106 TAP for hunting?

[Jimbee]

Anyone shoot animals with the Hornady 106 TAP bullet? It's BC is better than the 108eldm...?

Yes and yes. Identical terminal performance to 108gr ELD-M.

I am happy to hear that.

There's some 2nds at Midway that led me to ask. I'm hoping that they're Hornady 106gr TAP. They're pretty cheap.

I picked some blems up to try too, they came with translucent white tips, not sure if that’s what TAP ammo looks like or if it’s a different bullet all together.

"oh, I have a 6mm barrel in bound for a 6creed, I'll get 100 of these"

..."well maybe you should just get a barrel's worth" ....

Pretty sure the tap is red tipped like the eldm. I’ve bought eldm and tmk seconds from midway before and aside from some discoloration I haven’t been able to tell the difference. Never shot more than a rockchuck with eirher tho, and they all still went splat…

Looks like it performs pretty well...straight from hornady.

Dang. Had to order 1000 at that price. Hopefully they shoot.

We must think alot alike I grabbed 2k. I better start buying barrels cuz I have more bullets than barrels to burn them.

Bought 1k at that price!

In theory these seem like an optimal bullet. Higher BC than the 108s, sleeker/lighter so should be able to be pushed faster. Doesn’t matter much if they are more finicky or woefully inconsistent. Hopefully a guy doesn’t need to sort them..

I know the feeling, last time I bought 2nds I told myself it was the last time.

Something about being 1/4 the price of Bergers and likely better terminally makes a guy take a chance!

I hate you guys... I just ordered 1k....

 

[sndmn11]

Did you guys free ship

 

[axeforce6]

Did you have to sort them? If so based on what? Maybe I’m just lazy but I never sorted them and they all shot just fine. Granted they weren’t used for matches or big game
