I'm pretty sure the bullet is not a Nosler because it doesn't look like the 200gr Nosler bullets I have at home. On the DT website it says; "Featuring a custom made 200gr JHP,.....the tough jacket featured on the Doubletap bullet will easily hold together even when shot through heavy bone like you might find on an elk or brown bear."

It seems like the bullet is exclusive to DT, but I don't know.

Not sure about the bullets because they do have skive cuts  ???
Double Tap is showing this: Featuring a custom made 200gr JHP, you will not find this kind of performance anywhere else. Boasting 19.5" of penetration and .74" of controlled expansion, the 10mm 200gr Controlled Expansion JHP will easily take down ANY North American Big Game or African Planes Game animals.

I still trying to decide if the powder Double Tap is using may be Ramshot Silhouette but looks different than past samples. :-\

Performance wise I think the powder is Ramshot Silhouette.  :-\
