Description
This load hits the mark for serious handgun use, whether you're out hunting medium-sized game or need reliable defense capability. The 275-grain solid copper hollow point design gives you controlled expansion without the environmental concerns of lead. At 1450 fps and 1280 foot-pounds of muzzle energy from a 6-inch barrel, you're getting the kind of terminal performance that the .50 Action Express is known for.
Double Tap Lead Free Construction
Double Tap went all-in on copper construction here, which means cleaner shooting and consistent performance across the board. The lead-free approach doesn't sacrifice terminal ballistics, and the solid copper bullet expands reliably while maintaining the penetration you need on game. Manufacturing tolerances are held incredibly tight, with powder charges kept within plus or minus one-tenth of a grain, so you know what you're getting with every round.
SC-HP Design for Consistent Performance
The solid copper hollow point design is engineered to open up predictably on target while retaining weight throughout expansion. This balanced approach gives you dependable performance whether you're using this for defense or field use. The ammunition uses low-flash powders to reduce muzzle flash in low-light situations, and every single round undergoes rigorous inspection before it leaves the factory.
Built for Versatility
Double Tap loaded this specifically for personal defense and hunting applications. It performs well on whitetail deer, hogs, and other medium-sized game. The ammunition is new production, non-corrosive, and comes in reloadable brass cases with boxer primers, giving reloaders the option to stretch their investment. You're getting 20 rounds per box of quality ammunition built to exacting standards.
