Double Taps still phony?

Cool! I know you paid more than what Underwood or some of the others are so I will send more than you send me back.

My offer is open to anyone with a 10mm ammo not on that list or DoubleTap. Swap you out!
 
No need to swap. Appreciate the effort you put into the videos.

I just looked at one of my orders for 500 rounds of DT Gold Dot from 2007. They cost $239.95 back then. I wanted to buy more. Around that time, I called and emailed and even waited in Cedar City, UT while on a trip to Wyoming. I wanted to pack some in the SUV. No response over a three week period, so I stopped buying from Mike.

Can't figure out his business practices. He hasn't logged into some sites, with lots of supporters, in five years.

Post office is closed now. They'll be mailed tomorrow, Friday.

P.S. Since you have a Ruger Redhawk in .44 Mag, I'll throw in a couple cartridges of Buffalo Bore's 340gr +P LBT-LFN GC. Just brace yourself. :evil:

As for Mike he hasn't added any reviews on his site for 2 years. Recently I saw the 10mm board dumped his section, no response on Facebook... Who cares at this point.

seems hes got plenty of kool-aid drinkers to keep him afloat.
 
Dt also use's nosler bullets. When the market dry's up you have to get something worth while and there not the only ones that get screwed over by speer.

The 44 mag loads I have used of theres have been spot on frt advertized velocity, even exceding it a bit. Ma be the bad readings some get have to do with the chrony's and there bullet placement ,shadeweather ,who knows. I do know a chrony can read excedingly low at times. Thats why you shoot more than a one or two round.
 
Well, I know David's G20 gives about 30-50 FPS less than my Match due to the barrel being .125" shorter. He also shoots a bone stock G20 which SwampFox and a few others showed the hotter loadings need a 20lb + recoil spring to stay in lock-up. The info put out said that alone "COULD" lose you 50 FPS. But none of that would apply to revolvers! My GP100 has a tight cylinder gap (which is somewhat the loss mechanism in the revolver) and I don't get his 4" GP100 numbers either.
I really wish he would just show up (McNett) and talk openly about his ammo. Maybe early on he really did load things to box spec and all was good. Maybe he had a few episodes with G20/G29 or Deltas like SwampFox or others had experiencing bulges or Kabooms. At that point he scaled the ammo back and never had to put a warning about shooting his ammo out of these platforms. Only problem is he had his boxes (maybe thousands) printed with old specs and never changed them either. Would have been no problem... re-do the specs and print new boxes or issue warnings and keep things the way they were loaded back in the day.
Buffalo Bore kept their loadings the same issuing warnings and how the guns had to be set up on their website. Buffalo Bore is pretty good to tell you also what revolvers you can/can't shoot their heavy revolver ammo out of. After Mike Williard (SwampFox) had a G29 Kaboom and some other issues he wanted contacted first about the proper load and issued all kinds of warnings. He only changed his loadings for those who needed it and kept the good stuff the same (thankfully!).


Then you have Kevin Underwood. He has put the warning on his sight and has the full-boogie ammo for those with platforms set to handle it. His ratings are pretty spot on and most of the time less than what it will actually give. He went one step further though and made ammo specifically for Deltas/Glocks/Poor support and labeled it as such with the downloaded specs.

I know my Match is set up to handle it no sweat and optimized for heavy loads so if the DoubleTap doesn't hit box numbers in it... won't in any!
 
I don't know about Underwoods shipping prices, I went to buy a box of ammo for $23 and the shipping was going to be over $11, no thanks...

$33.00/50 rounds shipped to your door isnt a bad price for full powered 10mm ammo.

who else matches that?
 
drsjr1969, ammo shipped today. please provide a link on this thread once youve shot it.

thanks.
 
HK,

What's a GlockTalk?


Jem375,


Who orders a single box of ammo when doing on-line? I usually always always order at least 3 since shipping is the same regarless of quantity to a point. I generally just buy bulk but if I want to test a one-off I get a single and just pay it. $35 a box of Underwood shipped and DoubleTap is $14 more than that with no shipping LOL D
Darn by the time I pay 6% sales tax and burn $4.00 in gas plus an hour of my time to go get it at WalMart... seems pretty okay in my book!

well, one reason is that they only had 1 box of 223 55 gr. V-Max on hand. I only wanted to try that particular ammo to see how accurate it was compared to my handloads. $11 shipping by UPS is not good.... I'm thinking of ordering other calibers but probably later on in the month..

Order Total: $122.34

That's my order from yesterday. $15.99 split out over 4 boxes so call it $30/box and if I went 5 boxes it wouldn't have changed I do believe. Sometimes you have to play with the shipping calculation system to see where the savings are triggered. Not worth getting in the car and paying tax over!
 
Great! Hopefully David will do a video this week and I should have those from harrygunner to do one as well. He is sending DoubleTap 180's so I will pair them with Underwood 180gr FMJ and Underwood 165 TMJ. The TMJ 180's from Underwood tested out a little better than the FMJ's last time out. If that holds true for the 165's I should get 1500 FPS.

I am going to do a 9mm video tomorrow using the XD since I haven't done as much 9mm as I wanted. I have Kevin's top notch 115gr Gold Dot +P+ in Starline brass rated at 1400 FPS/ 500LBS.
 
IC - the boxes I have are indeed the black boxes. I will be getting them together today and hopefully shipping tomorrow.
 
Yep, and Big Macs that you get across the counter don't look much like the illustrations you see over the counter.
 
Mike responded today on their Facebook page. He said it does meet box flap ratings. I asked if I could post my video good or bad on his page Friday :what:
