DoubleTap 357 Mag 180gr Hardcast – Powerful 357 Magnum Hunting Ammo, 1300 fps, 20 Rounds

Description

The DoubleTap 357 Mag 180gr Hardcast load is built for shooters who want more from their 357 Magnum than typical factory ammunition delivers. DoubleTap loads a 180 grain Hardcast Solid wide flat nose gas check bullet to a rated 1300 feet per second, producing about 676 foot-pounds of energy from a 4 inch Ruger GP100. A hardcast bullet does not expand. Its hard lead alloy and wide flat nose drive straight and deep, turning the 357 Magnum into a capable woods and hunting cartridge.

Why Choose the DoubleTap 357 Mag 180gr Hardcast

Built for the Backcountry

DoubleTap also offers a 200 grain hardcast solid in 357 Magnum for even deeper penetration, and lighter hollow points for defense, so owners can match the load to the task without changing revolvers.

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 357 Mag 180gr Hardcast until you are comfortable with it, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box.

Why Choose DoubleTap 357 Mag Ammo

A heavy, non-expanding hardcast bullet keeps its full weight and shape, so it can break bone and penetrate deeply on tough animals. DoubleTap rates this 180 grain load at 1300 fps and 676 foot-pounds from a 4 inch Ruger GP100 and about 1420 fps from a 6 inch Smith and Wesson 686, and it still carries about 557 foot-pounds at 50 yards.

When you compare 357 mag hunting ammo, bullet weight and construction count as much as speed. This 357 mag 180 grain hardcast load is a favorite for trail carry in revolvers like the GP100 and 686, and it gains even more speed from a lever-action carbine. Heavy magnum loads produce stout recoil in lightweight revolvers, so choose a frame that can handle them.

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 357 mag 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.

Hikers, hunters and revolver owners who want a deep-penetrating 357 Magnum load for the outdoors will find this a confident choice. Always confirm your firearm is chambered for 357 Magnum, wear eye and ear protection, and follow all federal, state and local laws.
