Overview
DoubleTap's 148-grain full wadcutter is the match-grade version of the flat-faced bullet shape. DoubleTap casts it to 21 BHN specifically so it will not deform, and publishes real-revolver velocities of 740 fps and 180 ft-lbs from a 2-inch barrel, 800 fps and 210 ft-lbs from a 4-inch Ruger GP-100, and 855 fps and 240 ft-lbs from a 6-inch Smith & Wesson. The 50-round box makes it the practical way to shoot the wadcutter profile often enough to know where it hits.
