Received an early Christmas present today. Both boxes were ordered as 20 rounds but someone goofed and sent me the 50 box of 200's ;D :-X

It will be interesting to see how far they are off :o

We were 1 for 2 today ???

DoubleTap 200gr Hardcast (GP100 6") 1316, 1344, 1324, 1299, 1318, 1331, 1299. Average = 1318.71 FPS/ 772 LBS. This one hit the box flap rating 8)
DoubleTap 180gr Hardcast (GP100 6") 1349, 1370, 1332, 1383. Average = 1358.5 FPS/ 738 LBS. This one is about 70 FPS off the box flap rating. Nothing to sneeze at but 1375 FPS would be a better rating for these.

Also put my usual American Eagle 158gr Soft Point over (GP100 6") 1329, 1322, 1305, 1343, 1305. Average = 1320.8 FPS/ 612 LBS

Yea it looks like he's pushing the 200's not so much with the 180's. I'll have to test the load with my 180 cast Silhouette bullets. 8)
