DoubleTap 45ACP 230gr JHP Home Defense Ammo - 20rd Box

The DoubleTap 45A230CE delivers maximum stopping power with 230-grain jacketed hollow point bullets engineered for home defense scenarios. This premium ammunition combines controlled expansion with deep penetration to neutralize threats effectively while minimizing over-penetration risks in residential settings.

What Makes This Different

DoubleTap's 45ACP load pushes 230-grain JHP bullets at higher velocities than standard factory ammunition, generating approximately 950 fps muzzle velocity compared to typical 850 fps loads. The proprietary powder blend ensures consistent performance across temperature extremes while maintaining SAAMI pressure specifications. Each cartridge undergoes rigorous quality control testing to guarantee reliable feeding and extraction in semi-automatic pistols.

Key Features

• 230-grain jacketed hollow point bullets for controlled expansion
• Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness
• Temperature-stable powder for reliable ignition
• Optimized for 4-5 inch barrel lengths
• Compatible with all 45ACP semi-automatic pistols
• Low flash propellant reduces muzzle signature
• Packaged in 20-round boxes for convenient storage

Field testing demonstrates consistent 0.75-0.85 inch expansion at defensive distances with penetration depths of 12-14 inches in ballistic gelatin. The jacketed hollow point design feeds reliably in 1911-pattern pistols, striker-fired platforms, and double-action firearms. Muzzle energy exceeds 400 foot-pounds, providing sufficient power for immediate incapacitation while reducing the likelihood of dangerous over-penetration through interior walls.
