DoubleTap's lead-free construction eliminates environmental concerns without sacrificing ballistic performance. The 165-grain projectile achieves optimal weight retention and controlled expansion compared to standard lead-core bullets that may fragment upon impact. Independent testing shows this ammunition maintains over 95% weight retention while delivering 18-22 inches of penetration in ballistic gelatin.
