Double Tap Gelatin test results

[Lennyjoe]

Dont know if this was posted or not but here it is. I got it on email yesterday.

These guys are making some quality ammo.

All of these tests were done using 10% ballistic gelatin provided by
Vyse gelatin using all FBI protocols and 4 layers of denim and two layers
of light cotton T-shirt in front of the gelatin.

230gr Gold Dot JHP @ 1010fps - 15.25" / .95"

DoubleTap 9X25
115gr Gold Dot JHP @ 1800fps - 10.0" / .64" frag nasty
125gr Gold DOt JHP @ 1725fps - 15.0" / .74"
147gr Gold Dot JHP @ 1550fps - 17.5" / .68"


In 10MM it looks like the Gold Dot 180gr expanded the best. Even though the Gold Saber went 3/4" deeper it didnt open up as much. Ona side note, the XTP in the 10MM might make a good hunting round.

In .45 I would say the 230gr is hard to beat.

Can't locate link right now Lenny but yeah - we did have a thread on this a week or two ago. Some interesting stuff.

 

[RyanM]

Holy crap! That's amazing performance!

230gr Gold Dot JHP @ 1010fps - 15.25" / .95"

Come get some.





PS I would like to see photos if they are available.

And could a Sig p220 handle that load?

 

[Maddock]

And could a Sig p220 handle that load?

Double Tap claims that their 45ACP reaches that velocity "just shy of a +p rating†so I think that a P220 could handle the pressure, though playing with the springs may be indicated to handle the increased recoil momentum.

Double Tap = Great Ammo ...

No question about it, MCNETT is serious about stopping power ...

... and in multiple calibers too.

 

[Dees]

Do these guys have a website?

 

[5x5]

Dees - Doubletapammo.com.
Lennyjoe - I see the 165gr. 10mm gold dot at 1.02" expansion. -Ian

PS - I'm waiting expectantly for the 135gr nosler .40S&W...........

 

[Third_Rail]

Wow, now that is performance out of the .45acp!

Just shy of an inch and over a foot penetration... that's a good load. All you have to do is aim.

 

[bpisler]

125gr gold dot @ 1600fps + S&W 586 = good times

 

[ny32182]

I think I'll get some .40s&w and 10mm both in 165gr Gold Dot next time I get around to ordering some Double Tap.

That 357SIG ammo aint too shabby either
