View Full Version : Interesting coating on Hornady TAP .308 oversteer 03-10-2009, 08:39 PM It's very dark and looks nothing like the nickel-plated Federal HST rounds. WTH is it coated with? <img src="http://twist.smugmug.com/photos/489155457_BwF3e-XL.jpg" /> 5.56 for scale truth 03-10-2009, 09:38 PM srsly JAFO 03-10-2009, 09:41 PM Special Note from Hornady Manufacturing: # We are making a running change to the TAP ammunition. This includes changing from Blackened Nickel Cases to Bright Silver Nickel cases. Using the Silver Nickel cases has all the advantages of Blackened Nickel and the added benefit of being able to see the cartridges more clearly in low light conditions as well as when checking for loaded chambers. oversteer 03-10-2009, 09:43 PM before they switch to silver-colored nickel ryoung 03-11-2009, 04:58 AM I'll be curious to see what I get. absolutcq20v 03-11-2009, 06:20 AM KurtW 03-11-2009, 07:59 AM The already bloody-red tip makes it even more skeereeee. Kinda neat look, though. I've seen it somewhere, but can't recall where. oversteer 03-11-2009, 08:06 AM snoogins 03-11-2009, 08:46 AM CC Rider 03-11-2009, 08:58 AM No, not really.
