Old .357 SIG load, now available.

[clarkston_cz]

The Double Tap Ammo company's 115 gr. .357 SIG Gold Dot was last offered in 2009.

It's now available as the identical Bonded Defense JHP
that uses the Gold Dot bullet.



A bit lighter than the firm's 125 gr. Bonded Defense
load.

This load has an advertised velocity of:

1550fps / 614 ft. lbs. 4"bbl

With these numbers for other barrel lengths:

3.5" barrel - 1494fps
4.5" barrel - 1612fps



It should be a real screamer if it is as hot as the
NOSLER 115 grain load at:
1550fps / 614 ft. lbs. 4"bbl

3.5" barrel - 1494fps
4.5" barrel - 1612fps

That load exhibits some muzzle flash, but a lot of bang.
Noticeably- faster than the 125s and 147s/

Note, that like Nosler load, the once again available DT 115 gr.
uses a flash supressed powder for virtually no muzzle flash
as well.

Both should remain the fastest in the DT .357 SIG line,
except for the DT 80 gr. Barnes TAC-XP:


1725fps / 529 ft. lbs. 4.25"

3.5" barrel - 1600fps
4.5" barrel - 1755fps

( the load I carry in my RAMI P)

And have some appeal to those looking for truly smoking hot
.357 SIG ammo.

(All of these numbers are advertised, and your actual chrono results
will probably vary).


Thanks for looking, I hope to get out and shot some of this 115 grain fodder.

That'd make a mess.

Also hard to get. This is why I bought a S&W 40 Cal barrel for his SIG 357 last Christmas! He couldn't get "Social Ammo" for the gun. He is carrying Winchester S&W 40 Cal Ranger T ammo for CCW!

Do they chrono at the velocity double tap claims? If you shoot some, let us know.

That is smoking hot!!!!

Not at all. Maybe not locally. I ordered lots of Underwood 357 Sig. I am sure DT has lots on hand.

[clarkston_cz]

Dog, no chrono for me to verify with this new offering.

However, this is one recent comment. It could be from some of the older ammo though.

"This load is the only DT ammo I've ever chronographed that actually exceeded box velocity. Out of my G23/32, it averaged a little over 1600 fps."

[lyodbraun]

Nice the only draw back to those velocity claims is over expansion and or failure to expand... I'd like to see those rounds tested in ballistic gel ...

Those things must scream coming out of the barrel.
