DoubleTap verus Buffalo Bore Ammo

[freakshow10mm]

Or the product developers don't know industry standards of ballistic testing. Measuring expansion isn't as easy as measuring the widest part and calling it a day.

Freakshow...

BTW... I would love to try some of your 10mm on for size, but it's never in stock.

 

[freakshow10mm]

I've got too many wholesale and back orders to keep stock on hand for the website. It's gone before I have any to list.

Interesting, your website tells nothing of ballastic testing, in fact all your 10MM info is that it supposedly comes out at 1300 fps in a Starline case. No mention of bullets used and how much it expands in ballastic testing.

 

[freakshow10mm]

We do not test in ballistic gelatin. This is target/plinking ammunition, not self defense ammunition. Shooting into ballistic gelatin is a waste of resources. Why would we test something that isn't applicable?

 

[jem375]

DT ammo.... all tests done using 10% ballastic gelatin provided by VYSE Gelatin using FBI protocols and 4 layers of Denim and 2 layers of light cotton t-shirts in front of the gelatin..

 

[jem375]

As for as DT doesn't compete in the same market as you, of course they do.. they sell a 180 gr. load in 10MM which they call a target load...
Last post on this subject, belittling a competitor is stupid anyway. If you don't like a product, don't buy it....

 

[freakshow10mm]

Wow. One single load is similar. Big deal.

Double Tap competes with Buffalo Bore and CorBon, all three of which market their ammunition to the customers that like new manufacture high velocity and energy ammunition for self defense and hunting, plus a few practice oriented loads. My company manufactures remanufactured ammunition at standard velocity for LE agencies, gun shops, and bulk retail sales that is solely practice/training oriented. If you can't see the difference, you never will.

A few posts were just deleted. Let's keep the discussion on the topic of ammo only, and don't take it to a personal level.

no cop was ever killed because of over penetration

"One overpenetration with 147 grain subsonic (prior to SXT) that struck an
officer reportedly occurred a few years ago with the University of Arizona
police. NYPD had several cases of officers wounded with overpenetrating 9mm
bullets, but those were mostly and perhaps entirely the USA ball they
carried prior to the adoption of the 124 grain Gold Dot hot load. While I'm
aware of a number of overpenetrations with 147 grain subsonic, the U of A is
to my knowledge the only one in which an officer was injured by such a
bullet that had gone through the perpetrator.

Quoted from another forum. NY experience several of these when they carried FMJs. I wonder how you came to the conclusion that since no officer has ever been killed by over penetration it doesn't mean anything?
