DoubleTap 357 Mag 200gr Hardcast – Proven 357 Magnum Hunting Ammo, 1200 fps, 20 Rounds

Description

The DoubleTap 357 Mag 200gr Hardcast load is built for shooters who want more from their 357 Magnum than typical factory ammunition delivers. DoubleTap loads a 200 grain Hardcast Solid wide flat nose gas check bullet to a rated 1200 feet per second, producing about 640 foot-pounds of energy from a 4 inch Ruger GP100. This is the heaviest 357 Magnum hardcast load DoubleTap makes, built for shooters who want maximum penetration from a revolver or lever-action carbine.

DoubleTap also offers a 180 grain hardcast solid in 357 Magnum with a little more speed, so owners can choose between maximum velocity and maximum bullet weight for their outdoor carry.

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 200gr 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, so it can break bone and reach the vitals on tough animals. DoubleTap rates this 200 grain load at 1200 fps and 640 foot-pounds from a 4 inch Ruger GP100 and about 1315 fps from a 6 inch Smith and Wesson 686, with about 563 foot-pounds still on tap at 50 yards.

When you compare 357 mag hunting ammo, this 357 mag 200 grain hardcast load sits at the heavy end of the scale, trading a little speed for extra bullet weight and penetration. It is best suited to sturdy medium and large-frame revolvers and to lever-action carbines, where the longer barrel adds even more velocity.

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 the deepest-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.
