Description
This load pairs Double Tap's commitment to accuracy with Barnes' proven LRX bullet design. You're getting 175 grains of solid copper projectile engineered specifically for long-range ballistics and weight retention, loaded to 3000 fps from a 24-inch barrel.
Double Tap's Long-Range Approach
Double Tap has spent years building a reputation for velocity consistency and precision craftsmanship. Every round from their facility goes through quality control inspection before it leaves the door. With this 300 WSM load, they've matched tight tolerances and reliable powder charges to Barnes' LRX bullet, creating ammunition that delivers the accuracy needed for distance shooting.
Barnes LRX for Extended Range Performance
The 175-grain Barnes LRX is a monolithic copper bullet designed for the kind of long-range shooting that requires a high ballistic coefficient and consistent expansion. At impact, the bullet opens into four razor-sharp petals that deliver deep penetration and momentum retention through vital areas. The all-copper construction means this load works in areas where lead-free ammunition is required.
Built for Reloading and Precision
You get brass cases and Boxer primers, making these rounds reloadable for those who want to handload and fine-tune their loads. The 175-grain weight sits in the sweet spot for this cartridge, giving you manageable recoil while delivering the velocity and energy needed for medium to large game at distance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Barnes LRX bullet different from other long-range options?
The Barnes LRX is a monolithic copper bullet engineered for long-range accuracy and weight retention. It opens into four petals on impact while maintaining structural integrity through bone and tissue, which is why it's favored for extended-range field use. The design also delivers a high ballistic coefficient, supporting flatter trajectories downrange.
Is this 300 WSM ammo suitable for hunting?
Yes, this load is marketed for both long-range target work and extended-range field use on medium to large game. The 175-grain weight and lead-free monolithic construction make it effective for hunting where you need controlled expansion and deep penetration at distance.
Can I reload these brass cases?
Absolutely. Double Tap uses reloadable brass cases with standard Boxer primers, so you can handload these cases after firing. Many precision shooters and hunters reload 300 WSM ammunition to fine-tune their loads for their specific rifle.
How does Double Tap ensure velocity consistency?
Double Tap publishes specific muzzle velocity figures for each load (3000 fps from a 24-inch barrel in this case) and maintains tight tolerances on powder charges and bullet seating. They also inspect every round before shipping, which is why their ammunition is known for reliable velocity from shot to shot.
