Double Tap's DT Hunter line brings proven hunting ammunition expertise to the .45 Long Colt cartridge in a load that takes full advantage of modern +P capabilities. By pairing a 225-grain lead-free projectile with elevated pressure loads, this ammunition achieves velocities and energy levels that put it in rare company for the platform.
The move to a lead-free, all-copper construction offers tangible benefits in the field. Copper bullets retain weight through impact without fragmenting the way traditional lead rounds do, which means more consistent penetration and predictable wound channels. For hunters dealing with brush or needing follow-up shots, that reliability matters. The solid copper construction also means you get cleaner shooting with less barrel fouling, and the round leaves no lead residue behind.
This +P loading is designed specifically for modern revolver platforms built to handle the higher pressures. The 1500 fps muzzle velocity delivers 1124 foot-pounds of energy, putting the .45 Colt +P in genuine hunting territory for medium-sized game. That's meaningful power from a platform that's been around since 1873, but now loaded with contemporary ammunition science. This load works from traditional single-action revolvers like the Ruger Redhawk and Blackhawk, as well as modern double-action frames rated for +P pressures.
Each box contains 20 rounds of factory-fresh ammunition on new Boxer-primed brass, ready to load into your revolver or lever-action rifle. The consistent hand-inspection process that Double Tap builds into their production means each cartridge gets personal attention before boxing, which adds another layer of quality control beyond what mass-production offers.
This ammunition is designed for modern revolvers specifically rated to handle .45 Long Colt +P pressures, such as the Ruger Redhawk, Ruger Blackhawk, and similar frames built for higher pressure. Do not use in vintage Single Action Army revolvers or other older .45 Colt firearms not rated for +P loads. Always verify your firearm can handle +P pressures before firing.
Lead-free copper bullets maintain their weight through impact without fragmenting, creating more predictable penetration and wound channels. They also produce less barrel fouling and residue, keeping your firearm cleaner. For hunters in areas where lead ammunition isn't permitted, or those wanting better environmental performance, copper rounds offer solid terminal performance with those added benefits.
Yes, the DT Hunter works in lever-action rifles like the Henry and similar platforms. Verify your specific rifle is rated for +P pressures first. Lever-action rifles often handle these loads well and benefit from the higher velocity and energy these rounds deliver compared to standard-pressure loads.
Double Tap personally handles each cartridge during production, which allows individual inspection for defects or assembly errors that automated machinery might miss. This extra step catches issues before they leave the factory, supporting better reliability and consistency compared to fully automated production lines.
