The Barnes M/LE TAC-XP .38 Special 110gr pistol bullet (brand part no. 30449) is a .357-diameter, flat-base hollow point built from 100% copper with no lead core, giving handloaders a lead-free option for personal defense and law enforcement duty loads. Barnes designed the TAC-XP line to retain its original weight and track straight after passing through mid-level barriers like windshield glass, plywood, and metal car doors, a trait that matters for anyone loading rounds meant to perform reliably in real-world defensive scenarios. It ships 40 to a box for reloaders building .38 Special self-defense or duty ammunition.
