   Nugent seems to be teaming up with Doubletap now and Prograde is just done. That's two hopeful ones gone!

   I have to check and see who else didn't make it through the storm  :o

Its official Double Tap is making Ted Nugent Ammo as mentioned on McNett's DoubleTap Ammunition Facebook via Ted Nugent  http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tednugent-ammo.com%2F&h=MAQGabYsR&s=1

QuoteBring on the ballistics! Using the highest quality components and Doubletap's ballistic genius, Ted Nugent Ammo is back better than ever! Chime in and let us know what calibers we need to add next! This is going to be fun!

 I think what's out there will be the last of it. Their website is gone, FB page hasn't had a response since late 2014 and I found some info in a search:

Midway has the Ted Nugent by Double Tap.

True. But specs are still within 1200+. Why?. Still packs punch and follow up shots. Plus expansion.

Pierce Ammunition, which was making Ted Nugent Ammo, donated to NY's Governor Cuomo, the largest contribution of Cuomo's re-election effort.
 
Peirce's contribution received much notoriety in the press last year, during the election, due to the seeming contradiction of an ammunition maker backing the originator of the SAFE Act.
The press attention may have had a direct result in killing Pierce's sales and the sales of Ted Nugent Ammo .

The contribution was explained by Pierce, as a response to Pierce Munition's appreciation of Gov. Cuomo's "Buffalo Billion Investment Development Plan".  Buffalo Billion is a NY state economic fund for industrial re-development in the Buffalo, NY area. 
The same Buffalo Billion program is, now, under federal investigation for political kick-backs.

I am curious what you saw in the video to make you leery of the 180 grain Sierra?  I must have missed it.
