Description
Double Tap has put together a 7.62×39 round that works for multiple roles without compromise. The 123 grain Barnes TSX projectile is a solid copper hollow point that expands reliably on game while maintaining the penetration needed for larger deer or defensive scenarios. You're getting clean shooting with minimal mess since there's no lead in the equation.
Low Flash, Controllable Recoil Design
The ballistic profile delivers 2400 fps at the muzzle with 1573 foot-pounds of energy. That's enough velocity to keep your rifle running smoothly while keeping recoil manageable compared to heavier loadings. You'll notice reduced muzzle flash too, which matters if you're shooting indoors or in low light. The brass casing feeds and extracts reliably, meaning fewer malfunctions whether you're running an AK, SKS, or other 7.62×39 platform.
Versatile for Hunting and Field Use
Whether you're after deer, antelope, or smaller game, the energy transfer on impact is where this round shines. The Barnes TSX design ensures the bullet holds together while creating consistent terminal performance across different impact velocities. Double Tap's quality control keeps velocity consistent box to box, so you can actually rely on your zero and shot placement.
Built With Proper Ammunition Practices
Double Tap loads these rounds using the right procedures that other manufacturers skip. The powder burn is complete, the cartridge length is precise, and every round gets inspected before it ships. That attention to detail means better accuracy and less variation in your ballistics data downrange.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this Double Tap 7.62×39 load work in my AK-47 or SKS?
Yes, this is specifically designed for 7.62×39 rifles including AK-47, AK variants, SKS, and Mini 30 platforms. The brass casings feed and extract reliably in all modern 7.62×39 chambers, and the dimensions are standard for the caliber.
Is this ammo good for hunting with a 7.62×39 rifle?
It's a solid hunting round for deer and antelope-sized game. The Barnes TSX projectile is designed to expand and penetrate reliably, delivering good terminal performance. The 123 grain weight is standard for this caliber and provides a good balance of velocity and stopping power.
Why choose lead-free ammunition?
Lead-free rounds expand and perform just as well as traditional ammunition while eliminating lead residue from your barrel and work environment. The solid copper construction of the Barnes TSX means you get the same penetration and expansion characteristics without the cleanup hassles or environmental concerns.
How does the muzzle flash compare to other 7.62×39 loads?
Double Tap engineered this load with reduced muzzle flash compared to standard 7.62×39 ammunition. The proper powder burn and load procedure mean less flash signature, which helps with accuracy in indoor ranges or low-light conditions where flash can be distracting.
