TPM Load Data

TPM stands for Tir Précision Monométallique ("monometallic precision shooting"), a French brand of high-performance solid bullets. The bullets are made in France and are designed as a one-piece (monobloc) projectile, machined from a single metal rather than the traditional lead core and copper jacket. The brand is produced by the company PLUBEAU, with the first TPM projectiles conceived in the 2010s. Armurerie

They initially targeted regulated-arms shooting (TAR, Tir aux Armes Règlementaires), then expanded into long-range (TLD, Tir Longue Distance) and Extreme Long Range (ELR) disciplines, where the brand quickly gained recognition for its ballistic performance. The monolithic design appeals to long-range competitors and to hunters in regions restricting lead ammunition.

The catalogue spans several lines (such as MF, P, and the long-range XTLD series) across many calibres. Examples include a .264-diameter TPM264MF and XTLD-series loads like a 179-grain .308 for .308 Winchester, a 250-grain .338 for .338 Lapua Magnum, and a 440-grain .408 for .408 CheyTac. Products are sold through French retailers and the official site, balle-tpm.com, mainly to handloaders.
