Double Tap ammo is pretty much a guy named Mike McNett who was tired of the very few choices of crappy, watered down 10mm ammo from the big ammo makers, so he started blending powders and working with proprietary powders to make hard core, kickass 10mm, the way it was originally intended.

10mm is an interesting caliber with a history, and there's a reason (not a good one) why most factory ammo in this caliber sucks. One of the worst is the Federal Hydra-Shok. Good ammo in most caliber, schitty in 10mm.

Double Tap has done well with 10mm ammo, so he makes hot stuff in other calibers. Of course, you can aregue that his stuff is not "hot", rather, it's ammo to SAAMI specs, and not even a little bit less.

Tell me what caliber you need and I'll see what I have to swap. PM me and we'll discuss.
