Hornady TAP low recoil 12ga discontinued? Other [email protected] options?

Only sold through dealers and one of only two dealers in AZ have not received any in quite a while. They still get lots of the 1oz @ 1600 fps "red" TAP but not the "blue" TAP. On line rumors of it being discontinued.

1oz @ 1100 fps is a real sweet spot for my lupara and the VersaTite was is amazing.

Do I have any other options in that range? I see a lot of 1.125ox @1200 being called "low recoil"

You might call Hornady and ask them if it has been discontinued

 

Thanks for the tip. It looks like they make both a 1.125oz (9 pellet) and 1oz (8 pellet) @ 1200. The lighter one is a possibility.

Fiocchi makes a light kicking 1100 FPS 00 load too - but it's a 9 pellet version.

 

What about the short 6 pellet buck shot from norvell is it. Check the name of the manufacturer.

 

Thanks Fred I will check out the Fiocchi.

Eb1: Herter's Mini-Buckshot 12ga 2.25" 6 pellet 00 Buck -- [email protected]s
Although they have less recoil energy in theory they feel OK in my gun but the recoil is a lot sharper than [email protected] which is more of a shove.

I submitted a product availability request on Hornady's web page today.

There is another brand and does Aquilla have some as well?

 

Nobel Sport Centurion has the same velocity as the Herter's (1250 fps) if that is the one you were referring to.

It's also Nickle Plated hard shot. Patterns well for me.

 

Top choice>>>Federal Premium law enforcement 00 buck with Flitecontrol at 1145fps (LE133 00).

 

Thanks, I will check them out. Found this on line:

I've shot a lot of the Fiocchi 00buck low recoil after picking some up on sale early last year and was impressed with both the performance and manageability, I even talked my shooting buddy's 13 year old granddaughter into shooting some and I think at this point she's shot it more than I have!

 

Pretty sure that only comes in 9 [email protected] Most manufactures 9 pellet reduced recoil loads are in the 1150-1200 fps range.

PS. Still no reply from Hornady.
