About DoubleTap Ammunition:

DoubleTap Ammunition, founded in 2002 by Mike McNett, is a premium ammunition manufacturer based in Cedar City, Utah. Known for their high-quality, high-performance ammunition, DoubleTap has quickly established itself as a leader in the industry. The company specializes in producing some of the hottest factory loads available, catering to hunters, competitive shooters, and self-defense enthusiasts.

The brand is particularly renowned for their attention to detail, consistency, and the ability to produce custom loadings that push the boundaries of ballistic performance.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How does the controlled expansion feature work?

A: The controlled expansion feature works through a carefully engineered hollow point design. Upon impact, the bullet expands in a predictable manner, creating a larger wound channel while maintaining sufficient penetration depth.

Q: How does the .357 Sig compare to other popular defensive calibers?

A: The .357 Sig is known for its high velocity and energy, often comparable to or exceeding that of .357 Magnum revolvers. It typically offers flatter trajectories and greater barrier penetration than 9mm or .40 S&W.

Q: Is this ammunition +P or +P+ rated?

A: This ammunition is not rated as +P or +P+. The .357 Sig cartridge is already a high-pressure round, and this load is optimized for the standard .357 Sig pressure specifications.

Q: How does this ammunition perform in cold weather?

A: This ammunition is designed to perform consistently across a wide temperature range. The high-quality powder and reliable primer ensure consistent ignition and velocity even in cold weather conditions.

Q: Is this ammunition suitable for practice shooting?

A: While the DoubleTap .357 Sig Controlled Expansion 115gr JHP Ammo can be used for practice, it's primarily designed and priced for personal defense. For regular practice, it's more economical to use full metal jacket (FMJ) rounds and save these premium defensive rounds for carry and occasional function testing.

Q: How does this ammunition perform through barriers like auto glass or heavy clothing?

A: This ammunition is designed to perform well through common barriers. The controlled expansion properties help the bullet maintain its integrity and penetration capabilities through materials like auto glass or heavy clothing.
