Description
The DoubleTap 40 SW 200gr Hardcast load is built for shooters who want more from their .40 S&W than typical factory ammunition delivers. DoubleTap loads a 200 grain wide flat nose hardcast solid to a rated 1050 feet per second, producing about 490 foot-pounds of energy. It gives .40 S&W owners a heavy, deep-penetrating option for carrying in the woods and for protection from large animals.

Why Choose the DoubleTap 40 SW 200gr Hardcast
- 200 grain wide flat nose hardcast solid
- Rated 1050 fps and about 490 ft-lbs
- Heavy for caliber for deep, straight penetration
- Hard alloy holds its shape through bone
- 20 rounds per box, item DT40200HC
Built for the Woods
- Heavy-for-caliber bullet adds momentum over standard .40 S&W loads
- Wide flat nose crushes a full-diameter wound channel
- Good choice for trail carry and woods protection
- Not recommended for pistols with polygonal rifling, such as Glock and HK
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 40 SW 200gr Hardcast until you are comfortable with it, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box.

Why Choose DoubleTap 40 SW Ammo
Hikers and hunters who carry a .40 in the backcountry often want 40 sw hardcast ammo that penetrates deeply rather than expanding early. This DoubleTap load drives a heavy cast bullet to about 1050 fps for roughly 490 ft-lbs of energy.
The 40 sw 200 grain hardcast bullet is one of the heaviest you can find for the caliber. Its wide flat nose and hard alloy keep it on a straight path through muscle and bone, the qualities that matter most for protection from large animals.
If you already rely on doubletap 40 sw ammo for defense, this hardcast load turns the same pistol into a capable woods gun. Because it uses a lead bullet, many shooters avoid firing it in barrels with polygonal rifling.
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 40 sw 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.
This ammunition is a good fit for owners of Smith and Wesson M and P 40, SIG P229, Springfield XD and other .40 S&W pistols with conventional rifling who hike, hunt or camp in areas with large animals. Use it only in firearms chambered for .40 S&W. Always confirm your firearm is chambered for .40 S&W, wear eye and ear protection, and follow all federal, state and local laws.
