Description

The DoubleTap 223 Rem 62gr Colt Defense load is built for shooters who want more from their 223 Remington than typical factory ammunition delivers. DoubleTap loads a 62 grain Colt Defense solid copper hollow point to a rated 2900 feet per second from a 16 inch barrel. In testing, DoubleTap reports about 21 inches of penetration. Made by DoubleTap under the Colt Defense Ammunition name, this load pairs a 62 grain solid copper hollow point with AR-15 velocities for home defense and duty use.

Why Choose the DoubleTap 223 Rem 62gr Colt Defense

• 62 grain solid copper hollow point
• Rated 2900 fps (16 in barrel)
• About 3050 fps from a 20 in barrel
• About 21 to 22 inches of penetration in testing
• 20 rounds per box, item 223R62CT

Built for Home Defense and Duty

• Home defense with an AR-15 carbine
• Duty and patrol rifle use
• Shooters who want a bullet that holds together through barriers
• AR-15 rifles with 1:7 or 1:9 twist barrels

Always confirm your zero with your defensive load, since copper bullets can shoot to a slightly different point of impact than FMJ practice ammo. Keep a few magazines loaded with the same lot for consistency.

Buying ammunition by the box from the same production lot keeps velocity and point of impact consistent from one range trip to the next. Keep a record of the load you carry, check your ammunition for dents or loose bullets from time to time, and rotate your carry rounds so the ones in your firearm stay fresh. These simple habits help you get the full performance DoubleTap builds into every cartridge.

Before you trust any new load, fire enough rounds through your firearm to confirm it feeds, fires and ejects reliably and that the point of impact matches your sights. Full-power loads produce more recoil and muzzle blast than typical range ammo, so practice with the DoubleTap 223 Rem 62gr Colt Defense until you are comfortable with it, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box.

Why Choose DoubleTap 223 Rem Ammo

A solid copper hollow point holds together at rifle velocities where thin-jacketed varmint bullets can come apart. DoubleTap rates this 62 grain load at 2900 fps from a 16 inch carbine and about 3050 fps from a 20 inch rifle, with roughly 21 to 22 inches of penetration in testing.

When you compare 223 rem self defense ammo, weight retention and consistent penetration are key. This 223 rem 62 grain solid copper load is labeled 223 Remington, so it can be fired in rifles marked 223 or 5.56 NATO, and it stabilizes best in the 1:7 and 1:9 twist barrels found on most modern AR-15s.

DoubleTap Ammunition is an American company known for loading popular calibers to their full potential, especially the 10mm Auto and other magnum handgun rounds. Doubletap 223 rem ammo is loaded with quality components and brass cases, and many shooters choose it when they want the performance a caliber was designed for rather than a reduced-power range load.

AR-15 owners who want a dependable home-defense or duty load that holds together will find this a strong choice. Always confirm your firearm is chambered for 223 Remington, wear eye and ear protection, and follow all federal, state and local laws.
