Double Tap .45ACP ammo
Got a chance to try out their 185gr Nosler HP (rated for 1225fps & 616 ft-lb) out of the kimber this weekend. All I gotta say is these loads are HOT, non +p rated bot they're really moving, and accurate to boot. These are going into carry rotation. Highly recommended.

Thanks for posting.

Re: Double Tap .45ACP ammo
I Agree though I carry the 185 gr bonded core (gold dots). These are very hot loads I can tell the difference by the sound and recoil verses 200 gr gold dot +p's.

I wonder if they're harder on alloy framed guns, they're not +P, but the extra energy has got to go somewhere.

I use DT ammo exclusively in my 10mm guns but found that in a 3" barrel 45ACP that it resulted in a lot of muzzle flash.

4" has a decent flash too, but it's a dim yellow, so I'm not to worried about it.Mike from Texas wrote:I use DT ammo exclusively in my 10mm guns but found that in a 3" barrel 45ACP that it resulted in a lot of muzzle flash.
Re: Double Tap .45ACP ammo
Is that ammo cheap or expensive? Do they offer range ammo also?

Re: Double Tap .45ACP ammo
I am curious. What is the significance of the color of the muzzle flash?7075-T7 wrote:4" has a decent flash too, but it's a dim yellow, so I'm not to worried about it.Mike from Texas wrote:I use DT ammo exclusively in my 10mm guns but found that in a 3" barrel 45ACP that it resulted in a lot of muzzle flash.

White - large NV reduction
Bright yellow - etc.
