Buffalo Bore lead-free 9mm +P+ 115gr Barnes TAC-XP ammunition (Buffalo Bore part no. 24H20) is a personal defense load from Buffalo Bore. Item 24H pairs an all-copper Barnes TAC-XP bullet with +P+ pressure, and Buffalo Bore says the bullet penetrates about 17 inches in ballistic gel. The long-for-weight bullet takes up powder space and raises pressure, which keeps velocities below what a lighter bullet could reach. Like most Buffalo Bore tactical ammunition, it uses low flash powder so the shooter is not blinded after the first shot. A box holds 20 rounds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a +P or a +P+ load? Buffalo Bore lists it as a 9mm +P+ load, which means it runs at higher pressure than +P 9mm ammunition.

Does it contain lead? No. Buffalo Bore lists it as a lead-free load built around an all-copper Barnes TAC-XP bullet.

Why is the velocity not higher with a lighter bullet? Buffalo Bore says the long-for-weight copper bullet uses up a great deal of powder space in the case, which raises pressure and limits the velocity it can reach.
