Brass Case • Barnes TAC-XP
Solved from this product's advertised 1150 fps, 60gr bullet and G1 BC 0.095, with the sight 0.5" over the bore at standard conditions. Compare every zero for .32 ACP.
How to read it: filled circles are the near and far zero, where the bullet's path crosses the line of sight;the triangle is the peak (max ordinate). The shaded band is the 4" vital zone, ±2" either side of the line of sight. The dashed line marks the edge of the hold-dead-on window. The chart is zoomed to where the zero matters; the tables below run to 100 yards.

Product Overview
Buffalo Bore's +P 60-grain Barnes TAC-XP is a solid copper hollow point .32 ACP load made for self-defense. The bullet is solid copper, with no lead core at all. It leaves the muzzle at 1,150 fps with 176 ft-lbs.
Zeroed at 25 yards it is 1.4 inches low at 50, the least drop of the loads compared, and it still holds 1,003 fps with 134 ft-lbs. Estimated recoil in a compact pistol is 1.1 ft-lbs, the most of them.
If you're cross-shopping, Hornady Critical Defense 60-grain FTX and Hornady Custom 60-grain XTP are the next quickest compared, both at 1,000 fps and 133 ft-lbs. Speer Gold Dot 60-grain is the slowest, at 960 fps and 123 ft-lbs.
- More energy left at 50 yards than any load compared makes at the muzzle
- No lead in the bullet, so it is legal where lead-core ammunition is not
- 150 fps clear of the next quickest loads compared at the muzzle
- A +P load, so it belongs only in a .32 ACP rated for +P, and many pocket .32s are not
- The hardest-kicking of the loads compared, about 36 percent over Speer Gold Dot 60-grain in the same pistol
- Supersonic at the muzzle, where every other load compared stays under the speed of sound
