Unlike traditional lead-core bullets, the TAC-XPD features Barnes' proven all-copper construction with deep hollow point cavity and cutting petals. This design ensures consistent expansion from 98% to 100% weight retention, eliminating lead fragmentation concerns. The bullet maintains structural integrity through barriers while creating devastating wound channels that exceed FBI penetration standards.
