All-copper design: practical benefits

The TACXP all-copper bullet construction reduces fragmentation compared to some jacketed hollow points, improving mass retention and promoting deeper, more predictable penetration. The very large, deep hollowpoint cavity encourages rapid, reliable expansion across a range of impact velocities. For individuals evaluating defensive loads, those traits translate into a higher likelihood of stopping power without excessive unpredictability.
