View Full Version : New DoubleTap 357 Sig loads!
OK guys. After WAAAAAY too long of a wait, I just finished the final analysis of both the 115gr GDHP and the 147gr GDHP loading. I have them scheduled to be produced on Thursday 11/3/05. They will be available to buy on 11/4/05. The ballistics are as follows:
115gr Gold Dot
G33 - 1490fps
G32 - 1550
G31 - 1598fps
6" BarSto - 1739fps
147gr Gold Dot
G33 - 1206fps
G32 - 1250fps
G31 - 1300fps
6" BarSto - 1424fps
For those that have waited so long, I hope that you are not disappointed! ;c

Nice work man ! 1250fps is what I was hoping you'd get out of the 147gr loads ;W Should be some nice penetration there.

I'll be buying some myself. The 115gr will be in my G33. I can't wait.
1.) Awesome!!!~`c
2.) Can't wait!!!;f
Hey Mike, any chance for a fmj 147 gr in the future? The ballistics look great for both of the new loads. :)

Mike, your 115 gr load should be tough. I got 1578 fps from my G31 with you 125 gr Gold Dots.

Very sweet, I guess I will have to make a second order to the one I made the other day ;) I too am looking foward to the jello tests as this will most likely determine my carry load for my G33. PGH~
I bought your 147-gr 9'ers and really like them, so I know I gotta get the .357's! Huzzah!;+
Look for them late tonight on the website!

Yea, I am guessing those numbers are extremely conservative! I have always averaged about 40fps or better than advertised so it is like a little bonus!
Up all night........... ( I work overnight actually )- not up on the site yet..........http://www.eunuch.org/vbulletin/images/smilies/crying.gifhttp://www.eunuch.org/vbulletin/images/smilies/bawling.gif http://www.eunuch.org/Public/Images/ea1/E12.gif

I am waiting for my box of 125 grain Double Tap to come be delivered. In the mean time since the topic of 147 grain is brought up here, I was given a box of Hornady 147 XTP. I read on the box that they are pushing 1225 FPS. Does anyone know what length barrel Hornady tests from? I was also given a box a of PMC Starfire 125 grain that is marked Law Enforcement. Does anyone know the FPS out of a G32 for this round?
